then you can have someone like me that runs 15's with 31's and gets lots of rock rash on their rims (the difference is im pretty heavy on the skinny pedal)

Save your money and use your stock OEM 18x7 wheels. Keep your VX stock height (no lift) and your CV's will be much happier. If you want maximum ground clearance with minimum installation issues, then go for tires in P275/65R18 (32" O.D.). This size tire will give you 1.25" increased ground clearance over stock.
I recently installed the General - Grabber AT2 in P275/65R18 (32" O.D./44 lbs) on my 100% OEM stock non-lifted VX (no aftermarket rear springs and no front torsion bar cranks). They are bolt-on perfect "IF" used with the stock OEM 18x7 rims which have the correct offset and backspacing you will want to maintain.
It is not necessary to have "off-road" tires on the smooth rocks at MOAB. If you sift through the many pictures of MOAB-VX's, you'll discover most had A/T version tires and some even used "street" tires with complete success. Buy your next set of tires with your everyday driving habits in mind, and have confidence they'll be MOAB worthy when the time comes.

I once read Moby Dick, & even looked at most of the illustrations, yet somehow, I'm able to convince myself to stay off the "whaling forums", to post my expert opinions...

Funny part is when I "clicked" on this thread topic I was counting the posts to see when Riff would chime in with his expertise..your slipping old man, you had 6 posts prior to your weather-beaten, age-old, horse-beaten-too-death, sermon. Why not just post a link back to one of the other 50 or so repetitions?

No, it means he's not trying hard enough. (I know - I haven't even been yet so I don't have ANY room to talk - save the sermon)
More rubber ... less metal. That's the only logical choice when it comes to 'wheelin.
