I got a price quote of $600 out the door mount and balance on some hercules A/T's. I've never heard of the tire, but all the reviews I've read on the net makes them seem pretty good. A lot of people like the hercules tires.
Anyone have any experience with them?

i run the General Grabber AT2s.. they are 265/70/17 and ran me 115 a piece. I have put over 2000k on them, they are great. Look like brand new, are quiet and I have been off road in moderate mud, been in deep snow, been on ice, been on gravel covered in snow/ice. They perform extremely well. I have pics at home of them on my truck and will post them if your interested.

Oh and price.. It was 115 x 4 + 35 to ship (treadepot) then it was 98 and change at walmart to mount and balance. This also included road hazard. since walmart sells general they gave me road hazard for like 9 er 10 a piece, have to look at receipt (also in truck) It all ended up being 600ish, then I got them aligned but that's because it needed it, not a necessity. (also noticed it went up $5 per tire on treadepot)

BFG AT Estimate was about 1200, so scratch those..
Gona go with the General Grabber AT2 if I can find them
But to check first, 265/70R17 will fit when I was running 255/65/17 before? I heard that It will affect my gas mileage by about .4mpg. True or false on that also, thanks!

If "cheap" is what you want, I would also give the Kumho Road Venture AT KL78 a serious look. Similar in price to the Generals.
