2 Bald - 2 Fast
My wife and I purchased 4 brand new Hercules tires about two months ago. Wouldn't you no it 3 of the 4 are bald with the wire showing and the 4th is not to far behind. Now we're no tire experts but that just shouldn't happen, this soon. What could have caused this premature wear? All we do is city driving, no freeway, mountain or racing. Could a defect in the tires be the cause? Any one with any comments or if you experienced the same thing, please we are TIRED of being BALD.

Re: 2 Bald - 2 Fast
There are a lot of factors involved with tread wear. The compound would be the most likely thing. If the tire has a very soft sticky compound that would wear very quickly. Another reason could be the tire size is not correct for the vehicle. If the load rating is not high enough for the vehicle weight, it would cause the tires to overheat and wear faster. There are just too many factors involved to be able to narrow it down without looking at the tires and the fitment.

Re: 2 Bald - 2 Fast
I have never heard of Hercules tires, maybe they just suck... but you could always buy my rims/tires that I have for sale, 17" Focal R3's with brand new tires, email me at [email protected] if interested.

Re: 2 Bald - 2 Fast
What size are the wheels/tires? With the name WeRoll100Spokez, do they happen to be wide wheels with narrow tires, and about 13" in diameter? Just curious because that would cause them to wear fast.

Re: 2 Bald - 2 Fast
Yes with the name you hit it pretty close on the head. They are 13's, they are wide. 2 out of 3 so far. Lets go to the last one .......OOOhhh no sorrry Wide tires to fit the wide rims is what we were looking for. Maybe Next Time...lol
Seriously they are 13's on 155/80/R13's. I mean come on we only drive it approx. 10-15 miles a day and thats not everyday. I've never seen rubber wear out so fast....um wait never mind.lol
