It's really funny how a question about tires always devolves into a conversation that mentions Maxis tires. Did anyone else note that the OP stated that the original owner when from a 14" to a 15" tire and that they seemed to be rubbing? Could that be the problem? NO! Has to be the chinese tires!!! I stopped reading this at 3 pages after realizing again that anyone with some sense would not come here to get advice on tires, or leave soon after reading some of these tire threads. Maybe we can creae a contest to see who will start the first tire flame thread of the new year....
