    Tire Time...I'm stoked

    33 thousand miles. At long last, the seven year old 'Stones are worn out enough to justify replacement. I'm thinking Nitto.

    YUP...I agree!!!

    I have the Nitto Mud Grapplers...they are pretty quiet for an aggressive tread
    and work well in all conditions.
    They look gnarly tooooooo!

    I dunno. Those tires just look tacky. Way to much crap molded into that rubber. I like a more classic look, but that's just me.

    I think I will be going with the new BFG M/Ts, that is, if I decide on a little lift.

    First of all, those are spikes, not horns, and imo, there is nothing tacky about it. The scales, teeth and general excessiveness is what I don't like about the Nittos. Its like the flames on the dune grapplers. Its just tacky, imo. What's next? Skulls and Iron Crosses? I meant no offense, like I said, its just my opinion. I like my stuff more plain and not all "AutoZoned out". And those spikes were home made, brother.

    I kinda liked the spiked look.....MAD MAX would be proud..
    I think the tires are cool looking ..I just cant afford them..plus my new VX came with geolanders and a set of the stock wheels /tires..but maybe in the future the BFG M/T..

    Skulls and crosses on tires..? Never. http://www.vehicross.info/forums/sho...eferrerid=1999

    I think sidewall treatments are fun(ny) - they only work on certain rides though. The MG's work on Ldub's VX cuz they blend in with the rest of what he has going on. Scary, I know! I think they look good on Joe's ride too. But basket horns, spikes, teets... Basket spikes just BEG for aggressive treads to balance things out! While I think your VX wears spikes well, I seriously think the whole ride would look so much better sitting on 33" knobbys!! It would be like aggressive-stealth... or something. Now when you get the MG's, paint your 2 longer spikes fleshtone and give them some nipples! Just razzing you, man, you know I like your VX mods.
