    255?

    too small, and no different in looks from the stock IMO. 285/60/18's - go for it...

    New shoes for my Vx

    Hi, the new terra tires look really great!!

    I have been in a situation where my budget is very limited and still considering getting either the

    BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO
    LT265/70R-16/D1 RWL cost $762 to get installed and everything

    or

    BF Goodrich All Terrain TA KO
    LT245/75R-16/E1 RWL cost $632 to get installed and everything

    Now my last question is, do i have to trim my Vx to fit these? anything else i have to be aware of before getting myself spend more money which I try to avoid.

    I have been reading most of the tire posting that are here, very helpful and decided to go with these tire however, i ma very new to the Vx stuff and still learning from this forum which has been resourceful and all.
    Cheers

    Big Tires No lift

    Summer is over and the old Scorpion AT's get retired at 44k. Good tires.
    The Nitto TerraGrapplers, at 265/75-16, 31.5" dia., are as big as I can get with out lifting.
    A 3/4" of cladding was cut from in front of the front tires.
    This was the free shipping package from Discount Tires Direct at $114 each. I have 18" rims, but the cost was $167 and the 285's are too wide for my stock rims. The only snag was that I missed the load rating in the order. It should have been D, for 8 ply not E for 10 ply (Rated). I did not need the harder ride and the extra unsprung weight. The web site did not describe the E=10 and D= 8 details. First impression are a little slower pick up and no different feel or ride change from the 245/70-16. The Nittos sure fill up the wheel well.
