    Hercules tires used to be American. My dad says his father used to drive a set 'till they were bald on his car, then use a Skilsaw to regroove them. 1940's. Before my time- I have almost bought some, too- they've always had better prices, some O/O's tell me they seem to last a long time. OKC has a store.

    makes sense... as long as you are working local they may work out for you... no on the road warranty worries.
