    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.

    I'll try to help...

    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...

    For off roading the only thing that looks good on dubs are double dubs...so you'll have to save a little more and lift just a bit more!

    I'd say get'em....but I'd figure on a spare too mounted on perhaps a cheaper "steel" rim unless you wanna pony-up for duplicate wheel. I'm thinking that if you only buy "4" and encounter bad luck along the way buying a replacement tire down the road might entail some "back-order" time. I'm not sure how readily available those tires are. I seem to remember someone having availablility issues with the Nitto Grapplers maybe???

    The only other option is to check into a rehab clinic for "mod withdrawl".

    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!
