    Get 285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grappler. That's the one that makes the VX look complete.
    Peace.

    p.s.
    if it is possible to make the VX look any better, that's the tire.

    too bad we do not have a search engine that would show all the posts with all the different tires people have written aboutand evaluated. Perhaps a recomended section where everyone can recomend the tires they have. That way those poor people wanting to buy new tires wouldnt have to post their question everytime. We should really help tese people out.

    ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Thanx Ldub & VT-Maverick for your kind supportive comments. Yes, I'll send an E-Mail to MoonRover and "shake the tree's & rake the leaves". I'll get a feeling on his tire preference, and then make a variety of possible suggestions in various sizes tailored to his specific wants/desires.

    Success!!! Well, MoonRover wanted to stay within the $120 -- $150 price mark per tire range and prefers the wider 285/60R18 (31.3" O.D.) size, as opposed to the taller 275/65R18 (32" O.D.). After considering numerous brands/models; it seems the COOPER - ZEON "LTZ" is once again the hands-down winner with the unique "shattered glass" tread pattern from www.Treadepot.com, which has them currently on sale for only $120 each (a true bargain). The Nitto T/G is a way too expensive and a bit too heavy when compared to the "LTZ". MoonRover will be following in the exact same footsteps of fellow VX member "SPIKE" (and originally spear-headed by member "VX-KAT").

    VX-KAT--- Thank you so very much for your outstanding pictures in your Photo Gallery!!! Whenever I mention the Cooper - Zeon "LTZ", I always refer people to visit your specific gallery. Your pictures have incredible detail from every angle and clearly show fellow VX'ers the look/stance of the remarkable "LTZ".
