Thanks, guys.
First of all, those are spikes, not horns, and imo, there is nothing tacky about it. The scales, teeth and general excessiveness is what I don't like about the Nittos. Its like the flames on the dune grapplers. Its just tacky, imo. What's next? Skulls and Iron Crosses? I meant no offense, like I said, its just my opinion. I like my stuff more plain and not all "AutoZoned out". And those spikes were home made, brother.Quote:

I think the tires are cool looking ..I just cant afford them..plus my new VX came with geolanders and a set of the stock wheels /tires..but maybe in the future the BFG M/T..;)
I run 285/60 18s at stock height with no triming and no lift. I guess just lucky? I was thinking of getting new wheels and trying the bfg A/Ts with a little smaller tire, kinda like what daver has.....
Not trying to jock..... lol
You're not the only one...several others have gone 285 and gotten away with it...but it's really a bit too wide for our stock wheels. They look like baloons with the wheels "sucked" in. A rim, an inch wider looks much better.
Skulls and crosses on tires..? Never. http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...eferrerid=1999Quote:

While I think your VX wears spikes well, I seriously think the whole ride would look so much better sitting on 33" knobbys!! It would be like aggressive-stealth... or something. Now when you get the MG's, paint your 2 longer spikes fleshtone and give them some nipples! :p Just razzing you, man, you know I like your VX mods.
LOL, I was waiting for you to post that link Zeus. Can't wait to "unleash the beast" in May.:smilewinkQuote:

I'm looking at the Nitto site and I see Terra G's in a 255/55R18 109S size (noted as Extra Load). If I put these on do you think I could avoid any mods (it's so damn hard to find anyone in my area who knows VCross.)
I plan on (someday) replacing my Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo's with Dueler AT Revo's! 35k on these tires and drove to work today in 12" of snow and they still rock!
Don't worry, man. I do have plans. Like I said, once I wear the tread down on my BFG A/Ts, I will probably lift and equip some meaty BFG M/Ts. The spikes may go eventually once I get my light rack fixed right. Only time will tell, and money is gonna be tight for me this year. :(Quote:

I have 33x12.50 Wranglers on mine & hate em (never have liked Wranglers but they were on it when I got it).
I'll probably go with Micky Thompsons next year (unless someone talks me out of it first).
