Finally got some tires!!!

Just like the title says I finally got some tires. 35 KM2s with a 2.5in AS no rubbing even at full lock. I only have about a 1/16 of clearance but no rubbing. Like it really matters any way. I still want to lift the rear about 3/4 of an inch with the pro comp shims because for some reason some days the front looks just a little big higher. I am unsure about the steps. I bought these but I dont know if I like them on or not. Tell me what you think.

All I really have to say is that I love these tires. They look sick, ride great, and arnt loud at all.

Congrats on the KM2's!! They look really nice. I'm not 100% sold on the steps though....not that it looks bad at all, just not sure they are my taste.

Nice look. I say go with the steps. They match with your truck. It will save your drivers seat a lot of wear and tear over time.

Forget the steps! if anything they will take away from the rugged look youv got now. I dont know why so many people are after quiet mud tires, i love the hum of my toyos as i cruise down the road

Looks good none the less!

Dont you just love how quiet these tires are? People see how aggressive they are and the first thing they say is "my god those things must be crazy loud."

My buddy has 35" Terra Gapplers on his lifted 08 chevy and no joke the KM2s are just as quiet as the Nitto ATs.

i say leave the steps. (matches tool box, handles, mirror) also if you do ever got off road one dent to the rocker panel and you'll regret never having a step there.

Another plus to the steps - no door dings. That's the only reason I've left mine on.

Tires look beefy! The black steps don't match the chrome bumpers at all.
