Re: tire question (Paul Nimz)

Do any of you guys have a problem with the rear tires scraping under load?
I have 225/55-16's mounted on 7" rims, and with any more of a load than 1
passenger, I get this mad scraping noise from the back. The fender wells
have
been trimmed, new springs and struts installed by a Ford stealer 13,000
miles
(3 years)ago. I kinda think they put the wrong springs in, but I'm not sure.
I need to get new tires, so I was looking at the Continental "Extreme
Contact"
or the "Sport Contact" in a 215/55 or 50 size, hoping that it would
alleviate
the noise factor. The only other thing is maybe spring spacers, but I can't
find them at the usual sources. Waddya think?
