    first number (245, 255, 285 etc) is how wide the footprint of the tire is in millimeters... the second number (45, 50, 55, 60 etc) is how much rubber is between your rim and the edge of the tire (sidewall) in percentage of the first number... the third number (15, 16, 17 18 etc) is the size of the rim its going on

    Too late now, but I will chime in that Nitto Terra Grapplers are excellent AT tires. I had them on my old Trooper before it got wrecked. Might pack up in heavy mud, but I'm guessing that is a secondary concern...

    So did you end up getting the 255 or 285. I am about to get either one of the two. Probably leaning towards the 255 though.

    Any suggestions?

    After two sets and 35k miles on the first set I have no complains. They look better than any other tire out there for the VX. No noise on the highways, good on AZ offroad trips, good sidewalls, etc... Sine they are wide they dont like the sand too much. A few trips to el gulfo in mexico and primitive camping on the beach (20 miles from town) they tend to grab thus making the engine work harder. But in my book I give them 9 out of 10. There is always room for improvement.

    255's were put on....they ended up being about 180 dollars less than the bigger ones. I think paying a little more would have been worth it, but was told no....
    The vx rides super sharp though. Pretty happy with them. Only problem I notice is my gas mileage isn't the same.

    Good tire source

    I used discounttiredirect.com. Had to go google first to bring them up.
    Paid $483 TOTAL for 265/75/16 Nitto Terra Grappler's shipped to my door.
    Very quiet on the highway and suitable for most off road travels.
