To me the large skinny tire with a really aggressive tread always looks very military and utilitarian. It seems odd to see it on a more finished/refined looking vehicle such as the X-Terra or the VX, but it's not unattractive. It's very well suited to simple black rims as well IMO--there's something very matter-of-fact looking about it from a purely aesthetic point of view. I thought it was a very striking and effective look on Mikenomy's rig in particular.

On the Ironman as well, the contrast will be great--puts me in mind of those great Toyota Hiluxes from District 9.
