Tire Recommendation

[mrtew]

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.

If it helps... and even though I do hit snow from time to time... My feeling is the amount of "winter" driving is minimal, compared to dry or simply wet roads. Therefore, I have narrowed my choice to the Khumo's or the Hankook's listed. Good ratings by Consumer reports, good warranties....good reports here... all around GOOD. What will make either choice better is how they are maintained (rotated, aired up...etc).
