New tires - stock size - rubbing?

[Boardmember]

yes   When backing with wheel cut reasonably - but not extremely - hard.  275/55 20.  Replacement same size tire, stock wheels (snowflake), OEM spec.   Mounted two weeks ago.  

 

what might be causing this?  Obviously I will take back to the Firestone store when I have time.  But not sure what day that’ll be.

bigger tread on the new tires?

Nope.   That wold have been my guess.  Specs on prior and new show 30.9” height.

 

front right.

Its pretty easily to modify the steering stops. You could give it a couple taps with a welder or maybe adhere something to the stop. 

 

You could also throw some wheel spacer at it. Probably wouldn't even need bolt on's. Slip on's would probably do it. 

 

Or if its plastic that is being rubbed, just heat the plastic up with a heat gun or mini torch and push on it with a towel to "bow" it out of the way.

Sounds like a job for...the tire shop.   It’s annoying.  But thankfully I don’t spend a high % of my drive time in reverse full lock.

 

crazy that my most recent tire didn’t do it.
