I just bought some new shoes. It sounds like my driving is a lot like yours. I went with Yokohama AVT 285/60/18. There was no trimming required. It's a forward aggressive looking design that seems to fit the VX perfectly. As a matter of fact, Wormgod, has a picture with them on his VX. It's labeled "Most Viewed Photo" and is 4 boxes down from the upper right corner.

Peace.
Tom
