New wheels but tires are rubbing

d3r3k281 · 07-10-2011, 03:30 PM

At first I was pretty worried about tires rubbing but I have become used to it. However, I have also ordered new tires but the one I have now are pretty new also. Would it be alright to keep my old ones or should I just change them out?
Is it dangerous to keep driving with rubbing tires in the rear?

It depends on how often they rub and how badly they're rubbing?
Either way, it's always not a 'safe' idea to keep a tire that's rubbing in the first place.
So my vote is you roll your fenders if you haven't done yet. It'll give you more peace of mind and save you headaches in the future

Ditto. If the rubbing is enough to damage the tire, then I would not recommend driving on it. You'll need to do a fender roll or adjust some camber.

^^This. I had some slight rub when I upped to 275's in the back. A fender roll fixed everything, and it's a lot cheaper than buying new tires.

Depending on what the tire is rubbing against, it can wear out that area. It'll suck in the long run when it gets worse.
