Tire Recommendation

[Anita]

Yes it is a hijack, but I was taught to share....

No lifting for me. I would like a size that fits the wheelwell better, give the VX a wider stance but nothing too aggressive looking. Though I have dipped my toes in the Moab waters several times, I am just a city girl.

Thank you for those who have pictures. The visual helps...

After much hand-wringing this is the tire I finally decided on: Nittos NT420S
Nittos have such a good reputation. I considered grapplers but the style was a little too aggressive a look for me. I like this - good price too.

Hi Anita from Oregon,
So my old Bridgestones gave out. I hope they served you well.
What size did you end up with on the Nittos?

Roy, Your bridgestones served long and well. After deliberating what tire, what size, etc, etc., I decided on the Nittos sized 255 55 18. Like Joe and few others have voiced, I didnt want to shave the cladding. Like them I dont like to do anything to the VX that I cant undo.. even a little sanding. I just got home from mounting them. How sweet they look and I can definitely feel improvement in the ride especially cornering - like glass. I think Im going to really like this tire.
