According to the factory website of Bridgestone-USA, the 2000/2001 VX-OEM tire of Bridgestone - Dueler H/T-D689 in P245/60R18 is no longer manufactured. However; there is plenty of old warehouse stock in this tire still available, although perhaps now dry-rotting on their tire shelves. The 1999 VX-OEM tire in 16" diameter is still being manufactured by Bridgestone-USA.

For those die-hards considering the common Nitto - Terra Grappler would do themselves a serious injustice if they didn't also consider the new Cooper - Zeon "LTZ" in 285/60R18, as was selected by fellow VX member VX-KAT. A visit to the photo gallery of VX-KAT is highly recommended to view this new radical tire of the Cooper - Zeon "LTZ" mounted on the VX. A word of caution-- Cooper makes multiple Zeon version/series tires, so look specifically for the "LTZ" notation (very important).
