Meet The Ultimate Tire for Connecticut's Ever-Changing Weather

If you've lived in Connecticut for any length of time, you know the weather can change in an instant. One day it's warm and sunny, the next you're driving through heavy rain, slush, or even an unexpected snowstorm. Choosing the right tire isn't just about comfort—it's about safety.

That's why ProTech Automotive is excited about the Hercules Terra Trac® Cross-V AW, an all-weather tire designed specifically for today's crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks. It delivers confident traction throughout the year without the hassle of changing between summer and winter tires.

What Makes an All-Weather Tire Different?

Many drivers assume "all-season" and "all-weather" mean the same thing—but they don't.

All-Season Tires

• Designed for mild weather.

• Good in rain and light snow.

• Performance decreases in severe winter conditions.

All-Weather Tires

• Engineered for year-round driving.

• Certified with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol for severe snow service.

• Provide improved traction during winter while maintaining excellent handling during warmer months.

For many Connecticut drivers, an all-weather tire offers the best balance of convenience, safety, and value.

Built for Connecticut Roads

Whether you're commuting on I-91, navigating Route 9, or taking weekend trips throughout New England, the Terra Trac Cross-V AW was engineered to handle changing road conditions.

Key features include:

Outstanding Wet and Snow Traction

An advanced all-weather rubber compound and optimized tread pattern provide excellent grip in rain, slush, and snow while remaining stable during warmer temperatures.

Longer Tread Life

The tire carries an impressive 700 UTQG treadwear rating, promoting long-lasting performance and even tread wear when properly maintained.

Comfortable Highway Ride

Despite its aggressive-looking tread, the Cross-V AW is engineered for a smooth, quiet ride with enhanced driving stability and responsive steering.

Better Braking Performance

A wider contact patch and zig-zag tread design help improve braking stability while maintaining traction during changing road conditions.
