Description
The Hercules Terra Trac M/T is an all-season mud-terrain tire designed for light trucks and SUVs, blending aggressive off-road capability with improved on-road manners. Its Hi/Lo tread pattern balances a lower void-to-rubber ratio at the center for stability and noise reduction, while high outer voids enhance traction in mud, rocks, and loose terrain. Scalloped shoulder blocks and deep siping improve mud evacuation and wet/winter grip, complemented by stud pins for added ice traction. The bold camouflage sidewall design adds aesthetic appeal, targeting enthusiasts seeking rugged performance.
Features & Benefits
- Hi/Lo Tread Design: Central rib-like structure improves on-road handling and reduces noise; outer high-void zones maximize off-road traction.
- Scalloped Shoulder Blocks: Eject mud and debris while climbing soft surfaces, maintaining grip in challenging terrain.
- Deep Siping + Stud Pins: Enhance wet and winter traction; studdable design allows customization for icy conditions.
- 3D Siping Technology: 80% more siping than predecessors improves water evacuation and maintains wet grip as the tire wears.
- Reinforced Construction: Supports heavy loads (E-rated sizes) for trucks and SUVs, with a focus on durability.
- Road Hazard Warranty: Covers replacements for two years or up to 50% tread wear, plus a 45-day trial period.
Year Released
Launched in 2016, the Terra Trac M/T targets off-road enthusiasts needing versatility across seasons.

Sold exclusively in the USA and Canada, tailored to North American climates and terrain.
Vehicle Compatibility / Popular Vehicle Fitments
Fits mid- to full-size trucks and SUVs, including:
- Jeep Wrangler (33X12.50R15LT)
- Ford F-150 (LT285/75R16)
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (LT305/70R16)

Final Thoughts
The Terra Trac M/T suits weekend adventurers prioritizing off-road prowess without sacrificing year-round usability. Its studdable design and siping provide adequate winter performance for mild climates, though it lacks 3PMSF certification, making it less ideal for severe snow. On-road noise and handling lag behind all-terrain competitors, but the aggressive tread and warranties (Road Hazard, 45-day trial) add value for cost-conscious buyers. A solid choice for lifted trucks or SUVs tackling trails and occasional highway commutes, though dedicated mud-terrain tires may outperform in extreme conditions.
