This is another LT tire option for those with 7k axles looking for a better tire. I got these mounted on Tuesday. They replaced my Westlake Super ST from the factory. Just wanted to put the tire out there for another 16" 7k axle LT tire option. I tow with them, for the first time, this afternoon. I will only be traveling about 60 miles.

That appears to be a pretty good steel carcass tire . Do you know where they are made?. I run the Bridgestone R-250s and have been very happy with them. Let us know how they perform.

They are made in Thailand.They are definitely heavy duty. Especially compared to a traditional ST.

Hercules has been around selling tires for years. Around here mainly small town tire dealers/feed stores and farm and ranch type stores. I've used them on my trucks and trailers some years back. I see the H-901 has four 16" sizes in 12 and 14 ply rated tires with Cooper being Hercules manufacturer. Like the Sailun S637 only time and miles will tell us how they work in a trailer position. Good looking tire. Edit to add; I frequent several haulers forums. I see the LT235/85-16 G H-901 mentioned more now with good results on their trailers. These guys may run 80k-100k miles a year = two sets a year. Jim

Mind posting a pic including tread pattern?

Hercules H-901 Typical commercial grade ribbed tire tread that work so well in free rolling trailer position.

I have a 38.5' Toyhauler and I am replacing my original tires.
Made it 9 years on the originals! Consider myself VERY luck to not have any issues.
I will be putting on the Hercules 2225 90R 16......

Years back I used them with good luck but then they changed something and they started falling apart but maybe they changed again.

Yes Jim, it is the LT 235/85R16 load rating G that I got. Also with a speed rating to 75.

Put about 140 miles on the 5er this weekend it towed great.

How to easily post a picture on the forums.
