Description

The Hercules Tire Avalanche RT is a studdable winter tire for cars, SUVs and crossover vehicles.

  • Excellent grip on ice and snow
  • Better traction, even in the most extreme winter conditions
  • Very responsive in all situations
  • Available in 41 sizes from 14 to 18 inches, the new Hercules Tires Avalanche RT is a winter tire specifically designed to help you tackle ice, snow and sleet with confidence.

Don’t let the winter weather plunge you into the cold

The new Avalanche RT features Snow Grip Technology, a low-temperature compound that, according to Hercules Tires, allows for excellent handling in all weather conditions.

Was shopping around for tires, and finally settled for the Hercules Avalanche RT for my light pick up truck. The tires were cheaper through PMCtire than anywhere I could find online, and even cheaper than the local dealers were selling the tires for. The shipping was free on a set of tires. You can't beat the cheapest price for that specific tire and free shipping! I ordered my tires on Dec 3rd and got them at 9:00am on Dec 4th!!! That's faster than Amazon!!! Overall the best online shopping experience I've had.

Ordered the Hercules Snow Tires. They work very well as I tried them out in our first snowfall, very impressive!! PMC Tire had the best price on a set of 4 winter tires that I could find. Shipping was quick too. I recommend PMC Tire and will shop again.

The chrome alloys and winter tires that I purchased are fantastic. Received my order surprisingly fast! 30 min later winters were on my Camry, beautiful! Fit like a dream, and the tire balancing is suberb. Happy customer and the price was great! Highly recomend PMC tire!

Just purchased some Hercules tires for the rear of my '66 Belair. Great tire selection. Easy purchase. Fast delivery. Only thing I would like to share is that the thread photos were not quite like the actual tires. But, that was the same issue on the manufacture site.

Great selection, great service, extremely fast shipping. Will do business again for sure next time I need tires! 9 times buyer, more to come! Also, their customer service and support is top notch. Recently bought some steel rims for a 2017 jeep compass, along with tpms sensors for a customer of mine. I was stupid and jumped the gun and installed the sensors and mounted the tires on the rims before test fitting them. Unfortunately, the rims didn't clear the front calipers. I received amazing support trying to rectify the situation. They even sent me a selection of spacers for free to try and make them work. In the end, I was not able to make them fit properly. They took back all items, shipping prepaid, and issued a full refund! This level of service and support is extremely rare these days. I simply can not say how impressed and satisfied I am with pmctire.com! Customer for life!
