    you try anything in a 265/60/18? iirc there were a few options in that size, and i think they should be ok on a 9" rim... i think i looked at the goodyear wrangler silent armor in that size as well as the bridgestone dueler APT (not as agressive as an A/T but still deep tread and fairly large voids)

    why not go just a hair bigger to a 285/60/18 nitto terra grappler or cooper zeon LTZ... both have great reviews here

    I mounted a Terra of that size for a "test fit" and it was more trimming than I wanted, but I know many have them and love them.

    Because they will NOT fit. I tried on my cladding trimmed VX and severe rubbing was noted. However, I have no regrets about my Geos. They look great on the VX and ripped up my winter mountain pass in Vermont better than any tire I've owned to date. Buy them and you'll be a happy camper unless you wanted a wide street tire.
