Hi Ron
Just put Nitto Terra Grapplers 285X60X18s about a month ago.![]()
Your gonna love them...you'll need to trim the cladding in the front on the underneath part where it curves under in the front. I used a jig saw and duck tape on the cladding and followed the edge of the tape, maybe 2 inches. Both sides completed in minutes.
I used the stock rims, and tire pressure at 34 lbs. You cannot comapre these claws to the stock tires. These are quiet tires too that make the VX very steady on turns. The look is.... as you note the way a VX tire-wheel set up should look. Those little 245's just look swallowed up in those massive wheel wells. IMO.
I have not noticed any drastic gas milage change. I got 323 miles on a tank for high and 257 miles for a low with these tires.
Last week "Discount Tire" called and said they were holding a set for me. You might call and ask for Brad he said they just got a shipment of 50 sets. I called and thanked him via his voice mail but that I had already purchased some. I have heard that they are hard to find. I did not find that to be true.
Discount Tire has a website that lists there tire companies in your local area. I called the closest one to me and they had a set. I paid $605+ $21 per tire road hazard warranty
+ tax
