Anyone running the Hercules Power CV tires - 185/R14C all seasons. I need new rear tires as my LTX's are getting very long in the tooth. Vanco 2's on the front. I ran the Hercules HSI winters (4) for the last 4 months and they were fine.

That is a pretty good price. After a while of driving on them, let us know what you think of them.

It's linked in the Bay Window FAQ's sticky. That may be why it's not stickied itself.

What? Chinese tires on Scania trucks?

A curious experience with Chinese made tires. A friend of mine bought a couple of those Chinese ATV's for his kids several years ago. They were OK, but the tires smelled like poop. Literally. If they were in the sun, and you walked near them, you checked your shoes for dog bombs.
