Any experience with Hercules ST tires?

Need to replace my Maxxis 205/75R15 on JayFlight 24RBS aluminum wheels. Local dealer carries Hercules by Cooper, Load Range is D. I know G'year Endurance is the popular choice... but I like to support local businesses.

Go for it! Not only are you supporting a local business, you are also purchasing an American made product.

I have used Cooper Tires as replacement tires on my work trucks and personal pickup for 30 years.

Are you positive about where they are made? I saw a review saying their ST tires are manufactured overseas. I believe their auto/truck tires are made in Ohio tho.

My Bad! Cooper does have manufacturing plants in Canada, the UK and China.

I have chosen Cooper tires specifically for replacement tires for many years. I worked in the wholesale tire industry for 5 years in the early 1980's and my favorite brands for quality and dependability from my experiences back then were Cooper, Kelly Springfield (owned by Goodyear) and Michelin.

Must be made in USA or Canada! I will check birthmark before I agree to purchase.
Thank you!
Still looking for additional knowledge on HERCULES ST tires.

I had them on my last camper. They rode well and wore evenly. I have nothing negative to say about them. They were also economical.
