Tire Time...I'm stoked

[JoFotoz]

I dunno. Those tires just look tacky. Way to much crap molded into that rubber.

WHAT!!!...this...from the guy that welded/stuck "Horns" on his roof rack!!!



Dude.....!

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............

Great tire. Very minimal highway rumble and great on dry pavement, wet pavement, and in snow. Good all season tire for daily drivers who have weekend plans.

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)

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.

I kinda liked the spiked look.....MAD MAX would be proud..
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..

[Griffin]

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

[Chopper]

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=1999

I think sidewall treatments are fun(ny) - they only work on certain rides though. The MG's work on Ldub's VX cuz they blend in with the rest of what he has going on. Scary, I know! I think they look good on Joe's ride too. But basket horns, spikes, teets... Basket spikes just BEG for aggressive treads to balance things out! 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! 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.

And I can't wait to see what kind of trouble you will be able to get yourself into then!

PJ DIRT GRIPS - I have always thought your VX would look good with those and honestly maybe even better with the new bfg m/t's - as you have said.
