Thunder 147, 148, or 149 for an 8.0 x 31.45 deck?
Personally it’s like this for me
If you want satisfying stability and control with some pop and flip go with the 148 for anything 8-8.3 ish(that’s what I’m riding now)
But if you like a little edgy ness and being lower with I guess a faster response to pop and flip the 147 are always a good choice,
I ride 8-8.3 max and I like being safer but still a lot of flipability on the 148
I had 147 on and it was nice cause it’s lighter and lower but it felt a little unstable, like having them medium or loose and pushing too hard/fast gives a slight speed wobble and since they’re lower there was a chance of wheel bite
But that’s just me, Frank gerwer rides 147 on an 8.2 And he’s bombing hills and shredding the streets
In conclusion, if you want more control, flip, and fast pop = 147
Stable and safe but still some pop and flip = 148
