    Yup, ScottinMA definately made the right choice given his situation with his wide 9" wheels and resulting rubbing issues.

    What's so unique about the Yokohama - Geolandar A/T-S in 275/60R18 (31" O.D./42 lbs) is it is the "only" true A/T tire in that specific size!!! All of the other tires currently on the market in 275/60R18 are either H/T (Highway Type) or dedicated true Snow Tires (with soft compound rubber & extensive siping for winter grip; but very poor tread wear).

    The Yoko - Geo A/T-S is very durable and has a very aggressive meaty tread pattern capable of chewing up any terrain and uses a harder rubber compound for very long tread wear. It will likely be the last tire ScottinMA will have to buy for his VX due to the expected long mileage tread wear of the Yoko - Geo A/T-S. In addition, the wider 275 series width gives the VX a wider mean stance appearance and at 31" O.D. it gives the VX a ground clearance increase of 0.75" over the OEM stock tire (29.5" O.D.). Well done, Scott!!!
