Tire Time...I'm stoked

[Chopper]

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

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!

Thanks, guys.
