Hey guys...I agree also !!!

The best $$$ spent on my VX were 4 these tires!!!!

Great traction in snow..possibly better than stock for sure!

AND THE LOOOOOOOK AWESOME!!!!!!

OK, so Nitto has two sizes available of the Terra Grappler for our stock 18" wheels:

255/55/18's
285/60/18's

Question for the group at large, is there a big difference between these two and did anyone get the 255's put on?
It seems the 285's you'd have to cut a small bit of front cladding, but maybe not for the 255's(?) but is it a lot smaller tire in looks?

[transio]

the 255's would have a slightly smaller diameter than stock tires (245/60). I think they would look dinky compared to the 285's

[cascabel3]

I would get the 285s. The looks are awesome and fill the wheel-well real nice,

too small, and no different in looks from the stock IMO. 285/60/18's - go for it...

Hi, the new terra tires look really great!!

I have been in a situation where my budget is very limited and still considering getting either the

BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO
LT265/70R-16/D1 RWL cost $762 to get installed and everything

or

BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO
LT245/75R-16/E1 RWL cost $632 to get installed and everything

Now my last question is, do i have to trim my Vx to fit these? anything else i have to be aware of before getting myself spend more money which I try to avoid.

I have been reading most of the tire posting that are here, very helpful and decided to go with these tire however, i ma very new to the Vx stuff and still learning from this forum which has been resourceful and all.
Cheers
