Ironman Tires's new I-Series Gen 2 features a completely upgraded, full line of innovative and cost-efficient tires, designed specifically to meet the rigorous demands of today’s evolving trucking industry.
The four additional improved tires in the lineup of I-Series Gen 2 truck tires are the I-31M, I-42W, I-28D, and the I-52A, joining the I-19A, I-37D, I-48T, and I-61S that were introduced in August 2023.
Here are the key features of each, according to the company:
