Default tyre make

Has anyone used Hercules tyres on their corvette?
I need to replace the tyres on my 79 to get a roadworthy certificate, to drive my car in Australia and have been told these are just as good as BFG TA radials.
As i know nothing about this brand of tyres, and was told that they are an US tyre brand, so this is the place to ask the question. I wait for so replies. Thanks in advance.

Likely they are made by Cooper. Hercules also has tires made in China and other countries too though.
