The name Hercules is familiar in tires and tubes. I had a radial rear 
tube replaced a few years ago and the replacement did not last long when 
it started to separate at a seam. Lucky it was the outer dual, not the 
inner one with chloride in it. The Goodyear radial tractor tires seem to 
last long, at least the ones made in 1992 do. These have over 6000 hours 
on them too and are getting a little low on tread but otherwise good.
