When I had to replace my 7 year old Hankook AH12's (inside duals), the tire dealer here in Jacksoville (Davis Tires) strongly recommended the Ironman I-502 tires based upon his customer's satisfaction/positive feedback.
Ironman is a subsidiary of Hercules which is owned by Cooper if memory serves.
The Ironman I-502 is identical to the Hercules I-502 tire, just marked with the Ironman logos.
This is an all-position tire and can be used in steer applications.
What impressed me is that this is a J-rated tire (18 ply equivalent)in my 275/70/22.5 size. Almost all other 275/70/22.5's are H rated.
The Ironman's had fresh 2017 date codes at the time of purchase.
Ran the Ironman's on our trip up to Nashville and back via Mobile and the Panhandle (2500 miles or so)in October and noticed no difference from my Hankooks.
Price was $389 per tire installed. About 30% less than the Hankooks.
I will likely replace my Hankooks with the Ironman tires at some point in the future.
The one caveat, the Ironman I-502 has a speed rating of 68MPH vs. 75 MPH for most tires used on Class A's.
But, 68 MPH is plenty fast for me!
