    Getting dirty isn’t always a bad thing, especially when you own a Jeep, SUV, or light truck that can navigate muddy terrains like trails. Fortunately, Thunderer offer you a set of mud-terrain tires known as Trac Grip M/T R408 to cross the dirty roads in an efficient manner, whether for utility or for fun. To correctly understand the capabilities of this tire, be sure to read the Thunderer Trac Grip M/T R408 review to the end.

    Features and Benefits

    Jeeps, SUVs, and light trucks are the types of vehicles best suited for Thunderer Trac Grip M/T R408 tires. High-void treads in these tires can continuously eject huge amounts of debris and mud for superior traction. As these tires support heavy vehicles, they are built with a special tread formulation that ensures a high ply rating for extra strength and durability. Keeping in mind the main purpose of traction, the engineers at Thunderer have given these tires a blend of open and stepped tread blocks for maximum traction and performance in dirt, mud, rocks, and in other off-road areas. You may choose a black or a white letter sidewall as per what appeals to you more.

    Pros and Cons

    Other than the below mentioned pros and cons, what makes the Thunderer Trac Grip M/T R408 rating high is the availability of a Free Replacement Limited Protection Policy from the manufacturer.

    Pros

    • Highly durable
    • Provide strength to cross difficult terrains
    • Aggressive tread pattern easily removes mud and debris to maximize traction
    • Fits most popular SUVs and trucks
    • High load-carrying capacity

    Cons

    • Not very comfortable on highways
    • Vibrations may creep in

    SimpleTire’s view on Thunderer Trac Grip M/T R408 tires

    SimpleTire found the Thunderer Trac Grip M/T to be a tire with supreme grip on muddy and similar terrains, offering features such as open and stepped tread blocks for enhancing traction. They are suitable for providing wet traction and for preventing aquaplaning. Compared to the Falken Wildpeak MT01 and Hankook Dynapro MT2 RT05, these are several times cheaper. During the Thunderer Trac Grip M/T tire review, we found that these exhibit very less noise when the degree to which they travel is taken into account. Similarly, the ride is also way smoother than what it looks like from the outside. What’s more, the aggressive tread pattern here perfectly suits the profiles of the vehicles it is meant for.

    So far a very good tire. I haven't had a chance to try them in the snow yet but feel that they'll be able to handle it. I was also surprised that they were quieter than other large tires I've had. I've only driven on them for about 600 miles so hard to judge how the tread holds up yet.

    These tires are great looking with an aggressive tread. Very happy with the look and the quality for the price. Tires are very loud on the road; they were rated at a 3.9, but I'd give them a 4.5 minimum. Have some additional rattles due to the aggressive tread.

    I had AT tires that were wearing out and I wanted to go with a more agressive tread for my SUV. All previous tires were agressive AT treads so I never had an MT before. The previous set of ATs I had were 10 ply belt ed with kevlar and had a high load rating so I wanted the same level of tire. I ran across these Thurnderers and was a little shocked at the price. I got these tires for $138 ea so it was a good deal but I was really worried about the performance and mainly the noise. MTs are known for being LOUD. These Thunderers are NOT LOUD. They are about the same as my ATs that I previously had so that was a biggie. I've put a 1000+ miles on them since they were installed in April. Not one single problem! Nothing negative to comment about. Here are all the postives so far- 1) Price. I couldn't find any other MT for $138. 2) Q rate for heavy loads 3) 100 MPH rated. My previous ATs were only rated for 79 MPH and started vibrating when I hit near max speed. I've driven the Thundereres to 90 MPH and no additional vibration or steering issues. It did get a little louder. 4) 10 ply tire. Max protection and load bearing (3400 lbs) 5) There are no mileage warranties on an MT but Thunderer has a 48 month (from purchase) or 60 months (from manufacture) warranty on any tire that is defective. They will replace at 100% credit 6) Performance- Dry (stick like glue), Wet (excellent traction, no slip), Dirt & Rocks offroad (the tires love this terrain) handles excellent, Snow- haven;t tried yet. Not the right time of year. On top of all this Simple tire has a a 1 year defective warranty in addition to the manufacturer warranty and a 24/7 roadside assistance for 1 year. This was all included in the purchase. I don;t know how long the tread will last but if I get 4 years out of this type of tire, I'll be very happy.

    Just got them put on my truck and they look awesome. The tread sings a little and I don't care because I can't hear anyways.
