Thanks for the tip Riff-Raff. I have never owned a 4WD and listened to a couple of buds with Jeeps, but they do go "muddin'" a lot. My VX will probably see 95% street duty, with the off-roading being mostly Forestry trails in Arkansas and an occassional side trip exploring on a whim.
I have also considered the Yokohama GeoLander AT/S, but I like the looks of a more aggressive tire. I had good luck with the Yokos on my Mitsubishi Montero. Thanks for setting me straighT......Robert
