We just purchased 6 new Hercules tires from our friendly tire shop here in Victorville, CA. They are made by Cooper tire and are stamped "Made in China" on them. In the tire guy's opinion he says they are good tires and never had a complaint against the tire. The tires are about half the price of the ones I've checked on; Goodyear, Michelin, Toyo, and Bridgestone. Based on my age he said the tires would out last me. So far, the tires have behaved very well. Time will tell. The tires I bought were not the biggest ones but were metric 275-70 22.5 on a 30,000 GVW. Hope this helps.
