Ah, Dave I liked that humor. Would that I could get that lifespan out of 
all of the tires! Certainly none of the new offshore tires will last 
like those did. These two were on an irrigation pipe trailer that is 
used almost exclusively offroad so that is the best case scenario. On 
the other hand I have another trailer we use on the road pretty 
frequently and two Hercules (China) tires only lasted 1.5 years. I stay 
away from Hercules unless they slip into the rotation and have never had 
truly satisfactory life out of one of their tires.
