Hercules is a cousin to Cooper.
Cooper is a minority owner of Kumho.
They both have strengths and weaknesses in their tire models.
Without naming any specific models of tires that you're interested in... it is hard to say how they compare.

Go to walmart.com, and search for your tires. I just got Goodyears for $49 each for my Camry. What size are you running?

Yes, the size that you need, vehicle that they're going on and criteria may help us pick a better tire for you and probably at a better price for your budget.
I've used Hercules on a Geo Prizm. They were solid tires, at their price point. I'd say a fair comparison would be the Cooper Lifeliner.

In my opinion Cooper Tires are way better than Hercules.
Cooper has made Hercules branded tires since Hercules was founded in 1952.

Cooper bought 11% of Kumho in 2005.
All the tires mentioned are OK. We really don't know the difference between Cooper branded tires, Cooper's other brands...Dean, Mastercraft...and Cooper's private label tires including Hercules. With money tight, I'd get whichever make & model suits my needs and the price is lowest, understanding that none of these will be as good as a top line tire.
An interesting new retail brand of cheap Chinese tires is Sailun. They seem to offer a lot for the money. The Les Schwab regional chain is offering these, and Les Schwab has an excellent warranty, so the tires are likely very reliable.

And, I'd rather have a Hercules made by Cooper in the U.S.--but money is tight, and any safe tire is a good choice.
