Now THAT looks good...

Those KM2s are so new I am a bit leery of them. They look like like the Krawler TA. How do they work in mud?

I know the Krawlers are a great off road tire. But I hear the compound is too soft for daily driver use. I am hoping the KM2s are using the same compound as the old Mud Terrain KMs...

According to BFG, the tread of the KM2 was inspired by the Krawler, as well as the sidewall construction. I am sure that I read somewhere that the rubber compound was not the same as the Krawler though. I think it was probably mentioned in the issue of Off-Road Adventures where they reviewed the KM2. If it's the Krawler compound, we'll get zip for mileage.

I haven't had mine in the mud yet, so I can't say how they will perform off road.

I will say this though, they are surprisingly smooth and quiet on the road. Don't get me wrong, you know you're riding on big tires, but it's much better than I expected.

Truck looks great! Very tough.

I love the N-Fab stepbars/slider look-a-likes.

Try 'em out in the mud and get some pics up, let me know also how your truck was affected by putting the 35's on. I lost about 2 mpg mainly in town and my truck lost some pulling power compared to my 33 and 32 inch tires. I haven't had a chance to get a programmer for my truck yet. glad I could help out in the choice of wheels.
