    Riff Raff,

    They are Toyo - got them at Les Schwab. 285/60R18 A/T. Mounted on the stock chrome 18" rims. They look great - like they were made for the VX.

    When I turn hard they rub just a little in one spot of the wheel well.

    I have not done the trimming yet because I will have some cladding replaced so, I thought I'd have my buddy who ownes a body shop do that when we install the new cladding.

    Keith--- You are very wise to have mounted your new tires on the factory OEM Stock 18x7 rims. That is the main reason you've experienced very little problems/issues with rubbing, as the OEM rims have the correct offset and backspacing to keep the tires neatly tucked inside the severely cramped front wheelwells. The TOYO - Open Country A/T in P285/60R18 is an awesome tire, and still fairly lightweight at only 49 lbs per tire - good choice. Well done, my friend, well done!!!

    Yes, we definately need a NW meet. It was cool to see another one on the freeway. I put the Cooper SST 275/65/18 on the stock wheel, raised the rear 1.5" cranked front up 2", very little trimming. No rub, rides great. Kieth, sounds just like mine, just turned 55K with all original stuff. What a find.......
