I currently have the Nitto Terra Grapplers on my VX and they are awesome! They arent very loud and i drove with them in the snow this past winter and they were great.

Nitto Terra Grapplers....... yeah that is all I am going to say...... the end

[chosen one]

What kind of miles do you guys get out of these tires?

[ScottinMA]

What size Nitto Terra Grapplers are you running?

[LittleBeast]

285/60 R18 - no lift just great tires. I think there might be a little small bit of trimming on the front under side plastic, but you cannot see it at all. Last set of these I had lasted around 45k miles and probably still had another 5k on them at least, I still have all four of those old ones out in the garage. Never had a problem or complaint and I drive the heck outta tires, before these I was averaging a full set of tires a year. Of course I drive quit a bit, and do not slow down for much of anything.

Would these work? Nitto Tires Terra Grappler P255/55R18 without cutting the cladding and changing the speedo too much? I was hoping for something wider but I'm not going to get out the saw on my baby. BTW, 131 hits on this thread. What a forum! Scott (the moderator), thank you for making this forum and all who offer their perspectives.

Well, to be honest for the best external appearance in my opinion and many others on this forum the wider 285's are the best bet. Once they are mounted they just look like the VX was meant for a 285 tire, and the cutting is to the underside of the plastic, it is very minimal and only on the front. If they had not already been on the VX when I got it I probably would not have taken the chance either, but man I am glad they were already on there. But it is your call, and the 255/55's would definitely fit on the rim here is the info from Nitto on the 255/55's:
