Since I look at multiple tire websites an a daily basis as a hobby, I'll chime in and offer some input as to what I perceive as the most radical looking tires by size classification with the premise of having your VX stand-out in the crowd.


For a Stock OEM non-lifted 2000/2001 model VX using OEM 18x7 rims, my radical tire picks are as follows:

285/60R18 (31.3" O.D.) = Nitto - Dune Grappler A/T

275/65R18 (32" O.D.) =

o Kelly (made by G/Y) - Safari TSR (M/T)
o Sigma - Mud Claw M/T
o Eldorado - MTZ Sport (M/T)

All of the above tires can be viewed at www.Tires-Easy.com by entering the appropriate size in your search. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and have fun in looking at the many models available!!!


If you decide to lift your VX, then your options vastly improve within the 32"+ and above O.D. range. Other tire companies that come to mind with radical tread designs are Mickey Thompson; Dick Cepek; Pit Bull; Maxxis; TSL's, etc.. If lifting, determine your desired target tire size and then query www.Tires-Easy.com and www.OnlineTires.com and www.4WheelParts.com for various examples and ideas.
