Hercules RoadForce 118 Tires

[Reaper651]

Hey all,
I was surfing around looking at tires and found these: Hercules Road Force RF/GF 118. It looks like they make them for tube type tire applications. I did a search and it appears nobody has talked about these. What do you think? Here is a link:

They appear to be a good tire if you had 22.5 rims .

Yes for some reason, the link just goes to the first chip and cut tire on Hercules website. When you click on the link, look for the RF/GF118 and click on it. You will see that they have this model in most of the popular 20" rim sizes. I was mainly wondering what you all think of the tread pattern. They make it sound like its a mixed terrain tire. I realize that in mud it probably wouldn't do as well as some of the other tires but for typically dry, rocky terrain, it might work well? I was thinking about singling the truck out and running the 12.00x20 tires to try to save a bit of money but I'm not sure how it would fare this way in rough terrain. Any thoughts? I have been running Hercules tires on my pickup and on my service truck and they seem to run and wear well, so I figured these might be worth a try. They are reasonable on price, but the RF/GF 118 is the only model they show for a 20" rim. Also, sorry about the link not going directly to the proper model. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I did not see where they specified the tire position.

My tire guy had a difficult time locating cross tread tire that was rated for all position.

He found a firestone tire that worked better that the tires the factory put on the truck on the run to tower park last month.
