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.

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.

My driveway in Indiana is about 1/8 mile long 10% grade with some turns. These tires are awesome in the snow. Good all around traction. 45,000 miles and took them off for this winters snow. They aren't too noisy and ride well.
Second set of these, balance great and wear good all the way down. They do get a little louder after you get about 50% of the tread gone, as most mud tires do! Great tire for the money!
They are an aggressive mud tire, always get between 16k-18k miles. That's approximately 10k +/- on rural roads 4k+/- off road and 3k+/- highway.
This is my second time buying these for another Jeep of mine. These are great affordable tires.
These tires are crap I got them in a 37 and they have not rode right since day one (even with balance and beads) Also one of them broke a band inside the tire in less than 6,000 miles so now that tire is trash. I repeat do not buy these especially if you're putting them on something nice.
I would use the gift card to get 2 more of these tires for the front of my truck
