The old back tires I had on my motorhome were cheap Hercules All Trac Radial A/S, they had good tread, and paid 98$ each in 2004 for 'em. LT215/85R16

That is so true, I have a set on the back, never got far with 'em with 4x4, but they been on there so long, there cracking in the tread, and turning all whiteish grey, there getting so dry. lol

Been parked in the garage since mid April is when the truck was retired, and they never lost a single psi of air! Same for the front Hercules.
