last minute TIRE ADVICE (for AR chambers)

[Ldub]

Unless you're looking for a strictly high mileage (long tread life) tire, I'd be hesitant to get the dura grapplers.

I've had both REVO's & Terra Grapplers & liked them both. I think the REVO's have an advantage in the snow, & the Terra Grapplers were quieter on the highway. Of the two, my preference is slightly in favor of the Nittos.

Have you looked at the NEW BFG Mud Terrains? They have a new trad pattern similar to the Krawlers!

MMMMM BFG mud terrains... thats what I am getting when I am ready.

Yea, the new version is sweet. I was trying to find a pic of them that I saw online but could not locate it. There was a thread with pic on Pirate 4x but I can not find it.

Ldub-
any preference on flat out nice weather, dry asphalt/highway?

It looks like it's coming down to these 2...

thanx

So I just got back from the tire shop, had them test fit a 265/75/16 on the VX, and the 0 offset of the Chambers makes it a CLOSE call on the rear of the front wheelwell. It looked minimal to me, but the techs advised against it.
The look was eXactly what I want, and dang I got tingles seeing the Chamber on there for the first time.

So now, do I just pout and find something that fits ( a /70/ or a 245 even) even though the selection dwindles.
Or just how well does the hammer trick work?
Or will trimming work, it's just a bunch of plastic right?

I'm getting my search on as we speak...

You can only trim so much plastic on the rear...then its time for the BFH
If you remove the cladding you can easily see the metal behind the cladding, Knock it back a bit then reattach the cladding, trim as needed and *presto*!

I just removed my wheel well liner the night before last to get a better look at what needs to be removed, or folded over. It was so very easy to remove the liner. The cladding doesn't need to be removed at all - but I am not sure if that is what you meant or not, Billy...?

I am sure you could fit that rim and tire combo, cyronman. I have 275/65-18's (32"x11") waiting to be fitted to my VX. My rims are 18x8.5 with 0 offset, for your info. I am going to make them clear with the 2.5" lift I have so I don't have to lift it anymore than that. I will take pics of what I am doing tonight or tomorrow.

The teflon Chambers are REALLY nice man. They clean up so easily and always look new. I am running 245s and I only trimmed a smidge off the corner in the front cladding. 265s might put you over.

But damn, the Teflon Chambers were made for the VX. Simply put, I think they are the finest looking rim ever available.

Has any one ever put them on an astral yet? I would really like to get them someday and interested to see what they look like.
