    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.

    But DUDE, do you think you'll ever come up with a new rant?

    Love reading of all your Moab experiences..."complete sucess"... where were you? Behind a rock? ......

    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...
