    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.)

    Thumbs up

    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!
