about the Hercules Tires Avalanche XUV

Engineered specifically for modern crossovers, SUVs, and mid-size light trucks navigating harsh winter climates, this premium studdable winter tire balances quiet highway refinement with severe-weather performance. Formulated with a specialized low-temperature silica compound that maintains flexibility in freezing temperatures, it features Hercules' Sound-Grip Technology and an optimized directional tread pattern to minimize cabin road noise. Its aggressive directional tread layout, deep circumferential grooves, and dense thin-sip siping bite through slush, packed snow, and wet pavement to resist hydroplaning and shorten stopping distances. Marked with pin-hole locations for optional TSMI #11 metal studs for extreme ice traction, it carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating and is backed by the Hercules Performance Promise warranty package.
