Hi Pat

>you mention Coopers.  Any thoughts on Hercules tires?

   The Cooper Sportmaster GLT is a great tire, if you can find it (out of production).  The same tire was also sold under the Mastercraft name, but of course that model disappeared at the same time.  Coker used to sell a "Lexington" 165R15 which looked very similar and might have come from the same factory, but that's gone now too.
   Dunno about Hercules.  As far as I know, the only 165R15's left are Nankangs, Nexens, Klebers, Vredesteins, and various offerings at Coker (whitewalls, Michelin reproductions, etc).
