New meats!

Saw a great post from RiffRaff on a rave about the General Grabbers and saw his link to the ProComp A/T's. ....................gawd awful wheel well gappage.

I saw the promotion at 4WheelParts for a 4 for price of 3 deal and couldn't help myself. Took everyone's advice and ordered 285/60/18's.

Any way, I still had to give several verbal OK's to mount em up. They look great and ride SO much better than before.

BoarderCross2000--- OMG, they look totally amazing!!! I'm so glad I was able to assist you in your selection. To the best of my knowledge, you are the only VX'er here on this forum that has ever had the Pro-Comp A/T's in 285/60R18 (Disclaimer: Fellow VX member "NocturnalVX" has had the Pro-Comp A/T in size 31x10.50R-15LT, but not in the 18" size). They are Snowflake Mountain rated and only weigh 43 lbs each. That said; they are in a class by themselves in the 285/60R18 size of which no other brand A/T tire can match, period.

The reason they fit so perfectly with minimal rubbing issues is purely because you used the stock OEM 18x7 wheels. That is truly the "secret". The use of aftermarket wheels will dramatically increase the threat of rubbing issues.

When I was shopping for tires, your Pro-Comp A/T in 285/60R18 was in the final top-two choices for my final selection. I lost countless hours of sleep in trying to come to a final decision, as your Pro-Comp A/T's are simply incredible.

In the end, I finally selected the General - Grabber AT2 in P275/65R18 (32" O.D./44 lbs) only because I wanted a tad bit higher ground clearance. Like you, the tire technician's asked me over-n-over for permission to mount the tires as the entire shop faculty said they wouldn't fit. Well; to their amazement, they fit bolt-on perfect using the stock OEM 18x7 wheels with no lifting of any kind; no front torsion bar cranks, and barely cleared the famous "bolt" in the back of the front wheel-well on the driver's side. Only very minor trimming on the front cladding portion was all that was required and they totally "fill-up" the huge fenderwell gaps with pure tire.

Your pictures with the Pro-Comp A/T are simply breathtaking and you truly have set the standard for the rest of us to emulate. I am confident there will be many, many VX'ers out there following your lead for those searching for a 285/60R18 tire. Again, the Pro-Comp A/T in 285/60R18 is the pinnacle A/T tire in that specific size catagory with absolutely no competitor matching its specifications data.
