Ironman is an associate brand of Hercules Tire & Rubber, who in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of American Tire Distributors, one of the largest dealer/distributors of aftermarket replacement tires in North America. With their iMove tire family, Ironman introduces a lineup of affordable entry-level performance, all-season and Grand Touring tires that deliver premium-level features, innovation, and performance at a surprising price.

Ironman iMove Gen 3 A/S

The iMove Gen 3 A/S from Ironman is designed to deliver ultra-high-performance levels of braking, cornering, steering response, and road manners along with the versatility of year-round grip that you’d expect from an all-season tire. The iMove Gen 3 A/S is designed with an advanced tread compound that offers great wear properties (the iMove Gen 3 A/S is covered with a 40,000 mile limited manufacturer’s tread life warranty) and enhanced wet-weather grip. Its asymmetric tread design is broken into two segments, with the inboard side designed for dry weather grip and the outboard side optimized for wet weather traction. A solid center rib promotes quick and light steering response with stable highway road manners. For wet-weather traction, the iMove Gen 3 A/S features innovative offset sipes and angled slits along with circumferential grooves, and its enhanced tread block geometry helps to neutralize certain frequencies and harmonics for a quiet ride.

Ironman iMove Gen 2 A/S

Designed for performance-oriented sedans, coupes, and crossovers, the Ironman iMove Gen 2 A/S has many of the same design features as the iMove Gen 3 A/S. That includes a solid center rib, asymmetric tread design, network of sipes and grooves, and a next-generation tread compound, earning it the M+S rating for mud and snow traction. One significant difference, though, is the redesigned contact patch of the iMove Gen 2 A/S, which evens out weight distribution and pressure for improved wear properties, braking, wet/dry weather traction, and overall handling behavior.

Ironman iMove PT

If you’ve ever wanted all-season grip with the ride comfort and low noise of a Grand Touring tire (but at an affordable price), the Ironman iMove PT is here for you. The iMove PT features circumferential grooves, a semi-closed shoulder groove, multi-angle sipes, and lateral grooves that enable efficient channeling of standing water away from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning. A chamfered groove design puts more rubber in contact with the road for a boost in handling and braking performance, and the tread pitch of the iMove PT is strategically designed and randomized to neutralize certain frequencies and overtone for a quiet and refined ride.

Ironman iMove Gen 2 SUV

SUVs and CUVs keep getting a little more sporty with more of an emphasis on handling, steering response and braking performance, and the iMove Gen 2 SUV from Ironman is designed just for those vehicles. The iMove Gen 2 SUV features a unique asymmetric all-season tread with a combination of circumferential and zigzag/sawtooth grooves for year-round grip. The inboard side of the tread is designed for dry weather performance, with the outboard side optimized for wet weather and wet roads. Its larger contact patch and continuous center rib enhance straight-line stability and steering response, and reinforced shoulders give the iMove Gen 2 SUV great, predictable cornering ability. The iMove Gen 2 SUV’s sporty looks are a nice enhancement to the style of any SUV or CUV.

Other Ironman iMove tires

In addition to the above tires, the Ironman iMove family of tires also includes the:

  • Ironman SUV: Asymmetric all-season tread and intelligent design features that include a wide contact patch for improved handling and braking; available in 20” and 22” sizes for sport trucks and SUVs
