  • Thunderer tires was established in 2006 and offers tires for passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks, crossover vehicles, and special trailers. To guarantee optimum driving quality in all conditions, they apply cutting-edge manufacturing techniques.

    Modern production facilities in Thailand are where Thunderer tires are designed and engineered. Furthermore, their goods are ideal for the climate and paved surfaces of North America too.

    The Thunderer Mach V is an ultra-high-performance, all-season tire that is manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. These tires' unique selling point is their ability to respond quickly and provide excellent traction in any season.

    Yet, is it the best tire for your car and your budget? Let's take a look at a review of Thunderer Mach V to see if it's the right tire for you.

    Features and Benefits

    If you want the highest performance and traction for your vehicles, ultra-high-performance tires are the way to go. There is an added benefit if such tires can provide all-season traction. Let's look at the features and benefits of Thunderer Mach V tires to determine if they can provide you with the best performance.

    • Better all-season traction: Rubber compounds retain their elasticity in a variety of weather conditions while the tire’s asymmetric tread pattern features an optimal layout that increases the number of biting edges. As a result, both the asymmetric tread pattern and the long-lasting all-season compound improve dry, rainy, and winter weather traction.
    • Enhanced hydroplaning resistance: Grooves within the tread are intended to increase hydroplaning resistance. By spreading out water and slush from beneath the footprint, the circumferential grooves in the tread minimize hydroplaning. Combining these two elements enhances all-season traction and driving.
    • Exceptional handling and high speed controllability: The tread pattern improves the tire’s handling and control. An asymmetric ribbed design improves the tire's surface contact, which improves the steering's responsiveness and handling. In this way, the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure that affects the model and the steering responds to the driver's orders more quickly and precisely.
    • Longer lasting tread life: The rubber formulation helps to combat heat accumulation, resulting in a longer tread life. Tread pattern encourages even wear. With the tread pattern and tire compound, the Mach V extends the tread life. Asymmetric ribbed tread design has a flat footprint, which keeps the tire in close contact with the road at all times. In this way, the tire distributes driving pressure evenly over the tread surface, actively preventing uneven wear patterns. Long-lasting tire compound, on the other hand, maintains the rubber flexible and protects the tire from premature wear.
    • Better driving comfort levels: For a peaceful ride, the tread pattern has been specially designed to block sound waves. In addition, an asymmetric tread pattern increases comfort throughout the entire drive. When the tires are moving, the variable phase shift in the tread cancels out the sound waves. In doing so, tread produces a distinctive sound frequency. Before road and tread pattern noise can enter the car's interior and impair the driving experience for the passengers, this frequency effectively cancels it out. This makes for a peaceful and relaxing driving environment.

    Pros and Cons

    So, is it a good fit for your passenger vehicles? Before giving our final opinion, let's first look at its Pros and Cons:

    • All-season tread design improves traction in dry, rainy, and light winter situations.
    • Backed by a 45,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.
    • Grooves to remove water and slush from the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
    • Rubber formulation is engineered to resist heat accumulation, resulting in a longer tread life.
    • Asymmetrical tread design to enhance traction and performance.
    • Tread pattern cancels off sound waves, resulting in a quiet and comfortable drive.

    Despite having all of these features and benefits, the Thunderer Mach V tire could be better in some areas, such as:

    • They may not perform well on icy roads.
    • Not as long lasting as some competitor’s tires

    SimpleTire’s view on Thunderer Mach V tires

    If you're looking for a unique ultra-high-performance, all-season tire, the Thunderer Mach V is a good choice. In comparison to the Atlas Force HP and Landsail LS388, the Thunderer Mach V provides superior traction, handling, and performance all year.

    Despite having a slightly lesser mileage warranty than the Atlas Force Hp and Landsail LS388, the Mach V outperforms both. Overall, the Thunderer Mach V is an excellent choice for a UHP, all-season tire due to its low price and excellent performance.

    Vehicles the Thunderer Mach V is a good replacement tire for

    The Thunderer Mach V is a good choice for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Even though it is not used as original equipment, the Thunderer Mach V is a great replacement tire for vehicles like the Nissan Altima, Kia Optima, Toyota Avalon, Hyundai Sonata GL, Volkswagen Passat, Lexus, and Mazda.

    These tires are not it. Purchased 225-45-18 and in 8 months of normal driving, 2 tires went bad with splits at the seam. Cust, svc no help and ultimately removed all 4 for safety reasons. Wish I had done more research, what a waist of $$

    My background, 48 years in car repair, domestic, foreign, european as a technician and service manager. Have had expensive, and budget tires. I have sold these tires, that is why I bought them for my wife's car. Drove to florida through, not 1, but 2 hurricane's, stuck like glue, positive traction, never slid or broke traction once. These are the best for the money, bar none. Tread wear is still too early to tell. Quiet touring tire. Have put 3,200 miles on them, smooth, and quiet, would buy again in a heartbeat!!
