Thunderer All Season Tires (Touring and Performance)
One of the newer brands of tires, Thunderer was established in 2007 under the Deestone family of brands made in Thailand specifically for North American roads. Thunderer’s all season tires stand up well in terms of treadwear when compared to other brands in the same categories. The brand is known for its “no questions asked” limited tire replacement policy. As a replacement tire, the Thunderer is a decent choice for budget-minded tire shoppers.

Thunderer Touring All Season Tires
The Thunderer Mach I touring is a long-lasting tire (manufacturer expected life is 60,000 miles) designed for midsize passenger cars. As with all all-season tires, the Mach I tires are designed for heat and cold, as well as light snow. The design of this tire offers reduced road noise and improved fuel economy. The lateral grooves help reduce hydroplaning and alternating treads reduce rolling resistance so the tire runs quieter.
Thunderer Passenger All-Season Tires
A step up from Thunderer’s touring all season tire is the performance all season tire, with all of the benefits of the Mach I plus added stability, especially at high speeds. Mach II also carries a 60,000 mileage warranty.
Thunderer High Performance All-Season Tires
Topping Thunderer’s all-season tire category are the Mach III and Mach IV.
First, let’s talk about the Mach IV R302. This performance all season tire is designed for high performance driving especially at very high speeds. The engineering offers excellent braking performance, control at higher speeds, and rolling resistance for greater fuel efficiency. Thunderer offers a 60,000-mile limited treadwear protection with Mach IV tires.
Thunderer Mach III R702 is an ultra-high performance all season tire, so named because of its exceptional braking, acceleration, cornering and overall handling in a variety of conditions. This is Thunderer’s top-performing all season tire for passenger vehicles and the discerning driver who appreciates a smooth pavement connection when cornering. The manufacturer offers a 40,000-mile limited treadwear protection policy on Mach III tires.
Thunderer Light Truck & SUV All Season Tires
Owners of sport utility vehicles, light trucks and some crossovers should consider Thunderer’s Ranger SUV HT603, an all season truck tire that competes well in its class. Also offering a 60,000 mileage warranty, the Ranger HT603 tire’s slotted shoulders improve cornering, especially at increased speeds. The all-season tire features five circumferential ribs for wear resistance and stability and multiple sipes for better braking in light snow, ice and rain.
