    The tires make all the difference in the world! Makes the VX look like it should have from the beginning!

    Now you've got me thinking....
    I need a new set of shoes for Vicki and I was going to go with the Terra Grapplers again, but I REALLY like your new skinz Sue.
    Guess I have a decision to make now. Thanks for posting the pics, the VX looks GREAT.

    They are VERY similar looking to the TGs. The shop had 2 giant TGs (325s) in the shop so I got to check them out side by side, very helpful, made me completely sure I made right choice for me. These LTZs have some slight grooved tread within the treadblocks (not on the blocks, but the lowest part of tire)...not smooth like I've seen on other tires. You can't see it in my pics because of the dirt, only pic #5 gives bit of it. See on the side shoulder those squiggly lines, it's kind of like that within the tread blocks, so maybe better water dissipation?? Or in my case...mud

    The little "squiggly" lines will help in snow/ice conditions. They will not help with mud though...big voids between the lugs do mud best. The large voids clear the mud from the tire better. Thats why these are still the best pure mud tire out there...
