I'm still rollin on what the dealer gave me when I bought my VX (they gave me new tires to boot when I bought it) so I cannot tell you first hand about tires for the VX as I have not had to replace mine yet.

I can , however, point you in the right direction as I was curious myself and after digging through post after post about tires I created THE official tire post on the old board.
