I'm running 225/60/15 and they do rub at full lock. As a percentage of total driving time, I do full lock less than 1% of the time and always at slow speed (getting in/out of tight spots). I really do not worry about it, considering the advantages of the wider footprint. Ed 85 xj-s Craig Van Steenburgh wrote: > I'm getting close now on choosing my tires.
