Tire Recommendation

[Cobrajet]

I also have the Kumho Ecsta STX in 265/60-18 and am extremely happy with them, after replacing the disappointing Pirelli Scorpion Zero's, which were 285/55-18. Both fit with no trimming. I think the Scorpion's were too wide for the stock wheels and tended to vibrate on the highway. The Kumho's have been smooth and quiet since day one.

The Yoko's are the best looking street tire for the VX! Check out my site for picture of them, and of the Nittos! I love them both!

Falken Ziex S/TZ-04 (P255/55R-18 109H B) $550 installed at America's Tire Co/Discount Tire Co). I love them, and a lot cheaper than the $1000 Toyo Proxes.

I ordered these from discounttiredirect.com for $104.00 ea. with free shipping.

Great tire, fills in wheel well better than stock. Ride a little bit stiffer. Handling in the wet 1000% better!

You guys!!

I appreciate you all - thank you. Now that I have a recommendation for almost every 18" tire possible for the VX, the hard decision making begins...

One more...

I am most happy with the Kumho Ecsta STX. They have a secure feel and excellent grip, even in rain. I have not had a problem hydroplaning in spite of their width. I have heard that they do not last as long as other brands but mine are holding up well. Stay out of the mountains as they provide no traction in snow.

Our other VX is fitted with Yokohama Geolander H/T-S GO52 and I have posted my review elsewhere on these forums. They look great and perform very good, but are a bit of a compromise in handling to get good snow traction.
