On a "non-lifted" 100% Stock VX, there is really only one choice and here's why:

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=General&tireModel=Grabber+AT+2&partnum=765SR8GRAT2V2&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

TIRE: General - Grabber AT2 (All-Terrain)
SIZE: P275/65R18 (32" O.D.)
SUPER LIGHT-WEIGHT: Only 42.4 lbs each (per factory website).
SPECIAL RATING: Snowflake/Mountain rated.
INEXPENSIVE: About $190 per tire (+/-).
SUPERB TRACTION: Both on & off road; incredible on snow & ice.
NOISE LEVEL: Whisper quiet on the highway.
GREAT LOOKS: Very agressive appearance.

Bolt-on perfect on a 100% Stock VX when using OEM 18x7 factory rims, with only minor trimming on front innerside cladding. No lifting required.

I do know from giveing them a try, if you go bigger than a 265 your performance goes way down, and if you change the gear its ok but the power{horsepower} just isn't there for the new gear.
