Anyone know anything about them? Debating between these and Guard Dogs.

Im just going to get the Guard Dogs. Ive been more than happy with my Pumas and how long they have lasted VS the price I paid.

Another note, I ordered 5 black steel 16x8 wheels from Summit Racing and received them today, only to find all 5 got damaged in shipping. Called them up, told them what I had, and I now have 5 more on their way. The best part is, unless FedEx contacts me in the next three weeks, I get to keep all of them. Most of them I can repair safely, and already had planned on buying three more for a future trailer build, but thats for a much later date.....


So, long story short, quite happy with Summit Racing customer support.

Well, the thundererererer tires look pretty aggressive, but have you tried googling reviews on them? I've never heard of them, but they are at a great price!
Also, sorry and glad to hear about the news on your rims! 5 free rims sounds pretty nice! Let's hope FedEx lost your number

Indeed. So do I. I also couldnt find a whole lot on the Thunderer tires. My Google-fu is weak on my phone.

So waiting to hear back from a coworkers friend who may be able to get me a deal on tires, so thats a possible option.

Got 4 out of 5 replacement wheels today, the 5th wont be here for another week....
Also may be a bit excited, and curious. Bolted the wheel sans tire to the truck, curious how far they are going to stick out. The answer is a lot.
