Talk Me Outta This !!!

[Ldub]

Don't get those tires! I have heard only good things about 'em. Don't get those tires. They look so freakin' cool! Don't get those tires! They will turn your VX into this wild, crazy, wheelin' machine since you have to lift it more. Don't get those tires!
Kinda sounds like the voices in your head huh?!

LMAOPIMP(almost)...those are the EXACT voices in my head...& I'm tryin' really hard to ignore them...unlike the voices that tell me to mount forward 50's on my fenders to "R I P" through traffic...tough decision...there's only so much fundage ya know.

OHHHHHH MAN! That's el mucho dinero! Maybe too much for a look. I was almost afraid to ask. But by all means...pick up a couple scratch tickets and see whether your lucky!

Ldub, definitely do it! Those look awesome, and make sure and let everyone know exactly what it requires because I am sure more people will follow in your footsteps... Oh wait sorry I forgot, we are pretending to not like the idea right? Ok yeah I have heard nothing but awesome things about Nitto's and that they last forever even in exteme conditions so they probably will be a "bad" investment... And you might feel bad for being too intimidating on the road causing granny's to buy surplus Depends and teenagers in low riders to stop drooling and get outta your way! But yeah sounds terrible like a nightmare... Or the best halloween present for yourself ever..... I mean no terrible idea... sorry, I have been thinking the same thing about the Nitto's for me, but I keep on wanting to go with 22's and 33" tires or 24's with 33" tires, but then off roading wouldn't be as sweet, so 20's with these might be perfect.. I mean perfectly terrible...

You're NOT doing a very good job of talking me outta this...& I appreciate that.

And I must say, I'm no trail-blazer here...I'm following in the rather large footsteps of JoFotoz (ck his gal.) & woohoo (he wheeled w/ us @ Moab w/ dubs...way more nicer than c-lines) & there are probably others that I can't remember @ this time(sorry). But yeah...the thought of "grannys" having to double up on the depends kind of appeals to me.
As for the "lowriderz"...I wouldn't know, ya just don't see many where the winter conditions include -30 +or- & lots-o snow...works for me !
As for 22's or 24's...you're right...they'd look cule as all get out, but...the first tight rock obstacle you encounter.....bye-bye bead flange...I'm even thinking 20's might be a little "sparse" in the sidewall protection dept.
But for cryin' out loud...what price can you actually put on freacn' KOOL ???

Sincere thx 2 all 4 the input.

[pbkid]

lol my opinion? get some 15 or 16inch rims to put your terra's on...then some snow/all weather tires for your 20' rims...thats my plan and it sounds practical and fun =)...
those tires are badazz looking by the way, i love em...either those or the MTR's...
GO FOR IT!!!!!

Dub,

Having a VX and not indulging your passions is like sending me to the buffet without a helmet. It just ain't right. I say get two sets and use four of them in your living room as end tables.

Wait.....I meant don't do it.

IMHO I think those tires are hideously ugly. They do not mesh well with the smooth futuristic design of the VX. On a beat up '79 Ford Bronco, they would work, but on the VX, hells no. The sidewall design is tacky, and I would rather go for something more classic looking like the BFG Mud Terrains or the GoodYear Wangler M/Ts. The ProComp Mud Terrains are ok too.

But, on a good note, at least these ones don't have flames on the sidewall like the Dune Grapplers

I can just hear the twangy Gi-tar and the sound of a Coors Light being cracked open when I look at those...

Save your $$$, and maybe rent a DVD or something to take your mind off these tires & the whole VX mod addiction curse.

I guess it's too late to talk you out of buying those WAY COOL tires & fitting them to your WAY COOL VX....

My next mod... buy some PRO COMP Xterrains... I have PRO COMP All Terrains and I love them, but I still wish I had gone with the Xterrains... they are so much cooler!
