I have 33x12.50/15 Terra Trac AT's mounted on my '83 yota. I have had a lot of experience with this tire both on and off road, especially off road. It is rated as an all-terrain tire, but my friend has 31x10.50 BFG mud terrains and I can out perform him out on the trail as well as the road(we have the same truck, except mine is lifted two more inches). I get great mileage on the road with these tires, compared to the BFG's, and good, even tread wear. These tires, however, are naturally more aggressive in the 33x12.5 size than their 31x10.5 size, because the tread gets deeper, and the spacing between lugs is greater. I'll say this: these tires perform surprisingly well in sand, mud, snow, and rock-hoppin', as well as good road-handling. Bottom line, these tires will perform almost as well as any mud terrain out there in terms of off-road, and better than any mud terrain on-road, depending on the driver and vehicle. The only other tires that can put these tires to shame would be TSL's, which are the absolute best. The Hercules Terra Trac AT has an excellent tread pattern. The only drawback to these tires compared to more aggressive tires is they don't self-clean as well as mud terrains, so you have to get them spinning a little faster for the mud or snow to fall out. I'll never switch to a different tire unless I upgrade to super swamper because these tires are really just a fraction of a level under mud terrains. I get these tires for a straight $150 per tire, including installation and balance. I give these tires a 7/10, the BFG muds an 8/10, and TSL's are ofcourse 10/10.

Needed some new tires for my '04 F150 XLT 4x4, and wanted A/T. With major brands at over $200 per tire, I decided to give the Hercs a go. They ride nice, don't create any extra hum or noise and seem pretty grippy so far. If you're not a tire snob, these will probably do rather nicely. Mine are P265/70R17.

Short life, Awful in mud

These came on my used 2005 Ram 1500 and they had slightly over half the thread remaining. These tires are almost worn out after 10,000 miles of owning the truck (probably 25,000 miles on tires total). I'm sure I could get more summer miles out of them (maybe another 5,000 at most) but they are too worn for the upcoming winter.
On pavement, these tires work fine (quiet and smooth ride) with decent snow traction and average ice traction. On gravel, I'm not impressed since they get chunked out easily (one reason for the poor tire life on my truck) and they tend to float around unless 1/2 or more of thread remains. Off road, they work fine for dry trails but don't go near mud unless they are brand new (they load up awfully).
Overall I'd rate them average overall performance with below average wear rate for an A/T type tire. I will say I'm pleasantly suprised that I have not gotten a flat despite the chunking.
I had some Peerless Widetrac Baja A/T's on a previous vehicle. If you are looking for budget A/T tires, I'd take the Peerless over the Hercules. The Peerless has about the same pavement qualities, slightly better gravel and off road traction, but they lasted longer for me.

these are the worst tires Ive ever owned. They came with my truck when i bought it and were nearly new at the time, 6 months later, all 4 have huge chunks missing out of the lugs and the rears look as if somone took a cheese grater to them (no I'm not driving like a rally racer or doing burnouts). I would not recommend these tires to anyone, they are absolute garbage

maybe these tires would be better on a smaller vehicle, but on my f-250, they have literally fallen apart in less than 10,000kms. Decent traction on and off road, but if you even consider driving on gravel then buy something else unless you like buying new tires every 12,000kms

Terrible traction on all road surfaces

These tire were new when I bought my F-150. This are buy far the worse tire I have ever had on any of my trucks. Dry traction is average and any other road surface is just terrible. They have no traction on gravel, muddy or wet road conditions. They are even worse in the snow. I only but 2000 miles on them before I bought a new set of A/T tires and the difference was immediatly apparent. Don't waste your mony on these tires because just about anything else will go better.

These tires were purchased for $700 for a set of 4 installed and balanced. Had they not have been so cheap I wouldn't have bought them. My previous tires wer BFG AT KO's and they lasted 180,000 kms but were terrible in winter. After the first year I was wishing they would wear out. I sold them with about 1/3 traction left going into the 5th winter season.
These Terra Trac's seem to have worn fairly quickly at first but I was towing and driving alot that first month. We just had our first big dump of snow, the temp dropped to -30 C and ice is all over. These aren't nearly as good as winter tires but much better than the BFG's. Did I mention that the BFG's were $230 each?
The Terra Tracs aren't great.....but not bad. Under the same buying experience, I'd buy them again. I drive a 2005 Nissan Xterra. I'll posta again when they wear out.

Replaced my BFG AT KO's after 4.5 years and 180,000 kms. Those I won't buy again. for the last 3 years I've been wishing they would wear out.
These Terra Trac's are what I expected them to be, Bridgestone Revo knock offs. Much better than the BFG AT in everything but wear. If your are looking for tires that hold up to mud or gravel.....go buy yourself some MT's, if you want tires that are spectacular on ice.....buy dedicated winter tires, if you want tires that get a million miles......buy high mileage tires. These are good for ALL Terrains. Great at none.
