I can say that my first choice was a BFG a/t but I just couldn't justify the price differential. When I saw the per tire price + the 4 for price of 3 offer on the ProComps, I was in. I had actually spent many hours agonizing over tires/wheels even before I bought the VX! Was leaning toward the off road set/16's and the street set/18's. But I think I found a nice compromise and no need to store wheels/tires. As far as my pics well, aw shucks... the VX did all the heavy lifting.
