33 thousand miles. At long last, the seven year old 'Stones are worn out enough to justify replacement. I'm thinking Nitto.

I dunno. Those tires just look tacky. Way to much crap molded into that rubber. I like a more classic look, but that's just me.
I think I will be going with the new BFG M/Ts, that is, if I decide on a little lift.

HAHA! He got ya there, Bart. That's awesome!
OUCH.....ROTFLMAO.good one J;)oe
Chopper, I can highly recommend the Nitto Terra Grapplers. I've had them on my Tacoma pickup for 3 years, and I put a set on my VX as soon as I bought it. They have good grip, and not much noise at all. The sidewall "art" is a little more subtle than on the Mud Grapplers............

I've had a set of Terra Grapplers on the VX for two years now and don't have any complaints. Quiet on dry pavement, great in the snow and ice, and they do wonders off road in Moab. I'll probably get another set after these wear out, but that could take a while.
I'd bought the Dune Grapplers a while back (Discount Tire)when I picked them up, they were too "soft" and the flame sidewalls were a bit much for me. One of the techs at work has 'em on his pickup. I'm thinking Terras, they've worked out really well on the H2 for over three years now....but (you knew there was a but) the Lightning truck has been running 404s for some time now, and I absolutely love them! Tenacious grip, predictable break away, and pretty good wear, and theVX doesn't go off pavement. I just think the Terras look more in character with the VX... (and I don't blast around in 0177 at all) Terra Grapplers it is! (just in case I make it to Moab)
A fundamental question about the Terra Grappler. All the 18' size are wider than my stock Bridgstones @ 245. What would be the best width to go with or does it even matter? Also what's a good price to pay for them?
Thanks.
Depends on how much you are willing to lift or trim. 265s and you'll be fine...a little shave perhaps. 159 or so, at Discount Tire Direct. We have one here, so I don't know about shipping. (went and looked...255s @165ea. Fla. residents get a 25 buck coupon.)
You can go with 285/60/18 and NOT do any trimming provided you do the inexpensive (maybe $135) OME 912lift first.
BTW - Nitto Terra Grappler is the way to go.
Peace.

Terra Grapplers for sure. I am on my second set. I think I managed to squeeze 45,000 to 50,000 miles out of my first set. shawn
