215/65R16 Hercules Winter Tires (4)

Let’s be honest: winter in Ontario is a miserable, slushy endurance sport, and nobody wants to spend $800 at a tire shop just to survive a trip to Tim Hortons. Beat the seasonal panic with this set of Hercules Avalanche RT winter tires. ​Are these steel rims winning any beauty pageants? Absolutely not. As you can see, they’ve got a very healthy, very generous layer of that classic Canadian surface rust. They look like they were dredged from Lake Ontario, but structurally? They're solid as a rock. If you value stopping distance over looking fancy at a red light, you’ve hit the jackpot. ​The Cold, Hard Facts: ​Size: 215/65R16 ​The Rubber: Hercules Avalanche RT. They actually have tons of deep tread left, ready to bite into snow like a hungry beaver. ​The Rims: Sturdy 5-lug steel wheels. Visually "distressed" (let's call it vintage), but ready to mount. ​Fits: Perfect for a lot of common minivans, small SUVs, or your trusty winter beater. ​Save your nice alloy wheels from the road salt. Take the whole set off my hands for $150 or best offer. ​Pickup in Toronto. Make sure to bring a tarp, a garbage bag, or an old blanket you don't care about for your trunk, because these bad boys are dirty.
