    Well I've been lazy and not working. But 3 days of snow and mud. Hercules HDC and rides well. 30/32" and mounted well, all aired up with out blasting them. 398.00 per tire. So far so good.

    Ok, Hercules owns Ironman I just found that out. Yours has more tread depth than the I-208s. Back in 2019 it was 2000$ out the door for 8 Lol not anymore.

    Dad thought he found a deal online, 2k for 8 ironman but he didn't realize they were 19.5s Lol. I have to bring them back to FedEx in Bing this weekend

    WV or Kentucky?? Flatwoods, WV is at exit 67 on I-79, about 2 hours from me.

    Flatwoods, KY is about 35 minutes from me…

    If you are at Flatwoods WV, and you want a decent set down meal, park at Gomart on north bound side of 79. Walk across the road and up on the bank to the white long building. 3 girls restaurant is all the way in the back. Think I’ve shared pics from there, they have the chairs made out of old wooden whiskey barrels….

    @Brettj3876 ,look at tiresdirect.com. They are out of Illinois. I bought 8 Road X brand made by Sailun. 11r22.5 with 30/32 tread delivered to my door in TN for $318.00 each.

    Hercules used to be made in USA. Actual 30 miles from me in Findlay Ohio. Then bought out by Cooper in Findlay. Then ATD bought Cooper. My understanding they own most all the China,Japan, Vietnam knock off tires.

    I know, and can prove Michelin is by far the best investment all the way around. Just high purchase price.

    However in my current operation, my tires are dry rotting before wearing out. I would never tell anyone to buy premium rubber in a limited use situation.

    yeah same here for drives it doesn't make sense, steers on the other hand don't cheap out on.

    Agreed. Have Bridgestone because Michelin were not available. No complaints. No issues with Firestone steers either.
