Hercules vs Gremax

No, it's not a new Japanese monster movie.

I'm buying trailer tires for my car hauler. I've narrowed my choice to Hercules or Gremax.

Anybody have experience or know anything about either?

First, give us the reasons you have narrowed it to those two choices.

My reasons are irrelevant.

I'm looking for feedback from people who have used either of the brands of trailer tires and what their experiences have been.

What I'm NOT looking for is stuff like "all tires made in China are junk" or "________ is better."

So no one need waste their time with those kinds of comments.

Thank you if you can be of specific help.

No personal experience with either, but if you haven't already looked, do searches on both of these sites (RV.NET may be having an issue at the moment). Lots of experience on them.

Might want to re-think the tone. Everyone here is willing to assist, offer recommendations not only based upon useage but personal experiences.

No one want to head down the road and have a blow out.

I have no experience with either of those brands.

I have heard of the Hercules name a lot though.

My apologies to anybody who perceived a "tone."

Wasn't my intention.

I'm getting the Hercules in the AM.

give us a review of what you think of the tires after a few miles of driving loaded.

Any updates? I'm looking at Hercules for my flatbed. I have a pair of their Terra trac RS tires on my truck and I'm not sure I'll get another pair.

I haven't used Hercules, but one tire guy I know speaks well of Hercules.
