Fit 4 stock '99 rims and tires in back of VCross

[samneil2000]

My VX was shipped with 4 stock rims/tires + the spare + bacl seat stuffed in the back. IIRC the back seat was not mounted but I think it'll fit if you just fold & tumble it.

I don't know about you guys, but if I fold the rear seat forward I can barely fit behind the wheel. The driver's seat just won't go back far enough. Pretty frustrating for short drives, a long one (drive) would really suck.
That said, you should be able to lay the seats down flat and stack a couple wheels/tires on top, perhaps on a blanket to protect the seats from damage. Then put another behind the seat and another in the passenger seat. Surely they'll go...

If the tires are on the rims yes. I fit 4 , 2" larger terra grapplers in the back with seat folded up. shawn

When I put new rims and tires on mine, I couldn't get the 18" stock rims with 265/60R18s in the back. I had to put one in the front seat.

With your 16's you might be able to lay them down and stack them two high. The 18s wouldn't fit that way.

Yeah. You can do it with the back seat flipped up. I did four studded Nokia Hakapilitas with rims no prob. But, and this is important---make sure those tires and rims are bagged up in plastic. If you don't, they may scratch that plastic interior.

Studded Hakkapeliittas on a VX eh? After seeing how well mine did on bald Terra Grapplers this winter I'd bet you're pretty close to unstoppable.

I'd love to have a set of those in the narrowest size that will fit our rims - but I don't love the price. Nokian is proud of their tires - $90 for a studded BICYCLE tire! What up with that?

Have you ever tried the Hakkapeliittas without studs?

OK that's my thread jack for the night. Hey it sounds like the issue is settled anyway so cut me some slack, alright?

Yeah.. it's my wife's VX and it's pretty much unstoppable. The reason we went this expensive way is that she is from Ireland, and only started driving in the USA a few years ago in winter with this special set up. It really boosts confidence. My VX has plain old Duelers on it. But then again I grew up driving in upstate New York.

Ha! I was thinking "studded Nokians on a VX - that's overkill." But now I understand!

Not all of us are knuckle draggers so it's not usually a problem
