[Fall 2019 - Tire Roundup Request for 185R14]

Simpletire.com coming through with speedy delivery. Received the Petlas before I had a chance to drop of the Thunderer for return so did a side by side photo.

Thunderer on the left, Petlas on the right in both photos. 
 

Thunderer looks like a general HWY tire to me and from others experience/input here, it does the job well. Petlas looks like a bit more aggressive/all terrain tread that should do well on both highway and gravel or dirt roads where I spend a lot of time in rural Oregon. 
 

Also worth noting the Petlas is 3lbs heavier and feels much more solid in general. 
 

I’ll have ride and drive notes soon as the engine is being installed this week!

How are the Petlas tires working out, I am building my surf/snow camper 1991 Spirit. Were down in Seaside and head up to Mt. Hood in the winter. Wondering if you would still recommend the Petlas over Nexen or Thunderers. Thanks Phil
