Hercules Tires
The Hercules Rubber & Tire company was founded in the 1950s and is a small but
growing brand. They operate not only in the U.S. but also Canada and internationally.
The company also manufactures several other brands such as Merit, Ironman, and
Electra.
We tested the Hercules Raptis performance tire (205/55R16 stock size) on a 2002
Subaru WRX wagon for approximately 11,000 miles. They were
reasonably quiet and did not squeal during spirited handling. Rain performance
was decent, though that was expected as the tread depth was still good. If your tires
are showing the tread wear bars or are getting close, they are not
going to perform well in the rain, regardless of how good your tire was when new!
