    Dude, if you do that I would love to see a VX with these on it:

    or if you want some Nitto's these are avaliable in 15s but I don't like them at all:

    Those Dune Grapplers work pretty well here, in the sand. Bought a set a few months back,mounted them...didn't really care for the on road feel. Sold them to a guy at work. He is in the dirt like every weekend, lives on a dirt road....he loves them. (I got Nitto 404's and couldn't be more pleased) Get 16" steelies, and the ATGrapplers....never heard of anyone unhappy with Nitto.

    I have been to Moab twice and will have to agree with this previous post.

    "Terra Grapplers are by far the best all around tire I've ever driven...great combination of wet/dry traction & very little road noise.
    Bridgestone Dueller "REVO" is another excellent choice." These are a real sweet tire year round.

    Try 265/75 16 for good ground clearance and some sidewall padding when aired down. You will have to trim a little but that is no big deal.

    So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
    There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out.

    Like Explorers rolling over after they blow-out, and killing everyone on board?? I've heard a few things about Firestone too....That's why they were dropped by Ford...their oldest supporter.

    Those Kumhos were the tires I wanted to get but the size offerings didn't work for me. They are awesome looking though!
