    Here's what I bought...

    Def not the best off-road tire, but pretty good on and off road. Very good in the little snow we had this year...

    stock rims?

    Nitto Terra Grappler ALL THE WAY!!!!! Unless you want to change wheels out, then go with Nitto Mudd Grapplers. Here is my suggestion on stock rims: Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/65-18, here is a link

    http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...36&rd=18&ar=65

    Going to have to cut cladding just a little (no big deal) and raise the front torsion bars just a little to ride level (no big deal again), but if I had to do it over I would get the 285/65-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers listed above, best bang for the buck in my opinion, unless you want to change wheels too.

    yea im changing my wheels to 15 inch plain black steel offroad style rims...
    the only thing im worried about with the yoko's is that they have gotten really bad reviews throughout the web and from the tire guys i've talked to, they say that they wear poorly and they are much louder than any other offroad tire...
    probably will end up with the mud terrain's because they just seem to be a good all around tire and a favored tire by many...

    Dude, if you do that I would love to see a VX with these on it:

    http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...&rd=15&ar=1250

    or if you want some Nitto's these are avaliable in 15s but I don't like them at all:

    Those Dune Grapplers work pretty well here, in the sand. Bought a set a few months back,mounted them...didn't really care for the on road feel. Sold them to a guy at work. He is in the dirt like every weekend, lives on a dirt road....he loves them. (I got Nitto 404's and couldn't be more pleased) Get 16" steelies, and the ATGrapplers....never heard of anyone unhappy with Nitto.

    I have been to Moab twice and will have to agree with this previous post.

    "Terra Grapplers are by far the best all around tire I've ever driven...great combination of wet/dry traction & very little road noise.
    Bridgestone Dueller "REVO" is another excellent choice." These are a real sweet tire year round.

    Try 265/75 16 for good ground clearance and some sidewall padding when aired down. You will have to trim a little but that is no big deal.

    So on and on I go, the seconds tick the time out
    There's so much left to know, and I'm on the road to find out.

    Those Kumhos were the tires I wanted to get but the size offerings didn't work for me. They are awesome looking though!
