    Wow, 275/40/20 on stock rim! That the size I like to have on my truck but I'm not brave enough to go all out for that. I'ven shoping around and found 265/45/20 costs $58 cheaper than 245/50/20.

    Are side step tubes looks good on CX-9?

    Well, I'm not too short, about 5'-8". The idea is not totally for the functionality but rather for the looks. Yes, the door extends way too low in my opinion. I think Mazda designed these doors to protect the dress and pants from getting dirty. Well, as the old saying goes 'you get some you...
