    Hi Jody:

    What is the exact size of your tires that you currently have on your VX? They seem to fit really nice inside the wheel wells (especially the front) without being lifted.

    I too am looking to put new tires on my VX, and am leaning towards the BFG Rugged Trail TA (P275/70R18), or General Grabber AT2 (P265/70R18 or P275/65R18), or the Pro-Comp A/T (P285/60R18). All in "P" series for reduced unsprung weight. No way am I putting on "LT" series, as they're way too heavy to stop during braking. Riff Raff

    I would stay away from the rugged terrains...if you drive like a granny you MIGHT get 25,000 miles out of them!

    hi RR,
    I'll take a peek at them tonight when I get home. I've heard great things about the Nitto's, so I think I'm leaning towards those. Something a bit bulkier than my current tires.

    i went ahead and ordered the Nitto 285/50/18's. we got something that is more of a street tire since we drive the VX daily. i guess they didn't have the terra grapplers available. we get them put on next week. i'll be sure and post some pics. they are a bit wider and a tad lower profile. i can't break out of my performance car mold of low and fast! lol!

    we don't plan on doing much offroading with these. we wanted something that looks a bit more aggressive than our stock ones, but will also be good for using as DD.

    Hi Jody:

    Huh?? I'm confused.

    What is the size of your current tires that you have on your VX??? In addition, what is the model of the Nitto tire that you ordered???

    Thanx, Riff Raff
