From Autoquarterly July 21, 2020
Ironman Tires is single-minded in its pursuit of just one category: affordable tires. A subsidiary of
Cooper Tire and Rubber’s “Hercules” sub-brand, Ironman tackles a packed segment of inexpensive rubber filled with manufacturers that have taken extreme cost-cutting measures to stay competitive.
Although inexpensive, the company can’t work miracles. The subsidiary does have to make some compromises to get their tires to market at bargain-bin prices. Nonetheless, the damage to the wallet is minimal, and the backing of parent company Cooper allows Ironman to provide better-than-expected warranties, customer support, and R&D. All of this means that if you’re looking for a new set of inexpensive tires, Ironman could be the perfect ticket.
Still made in Asia, interesting article
