Hi folks,
I just had an unpleasant experience. I just had new tires mounted-205/70R15
Yokohama T4s. I bought these because they most closely matched the stock
185/15 redlines that I previously had on the car. I thought the tires looked
"bulky" in the wheel well as compared to the 185/15s (I have wire wheels). I
turned to car hard to the right, went into a hole and caught the top of the
tire on the inner lip of the fender. It gouged a big chunk of rubber out of
the tire and bent the fender (not too bad). I assume that the springs are
stock height. Are these tires too big, or are my springs, shocks bad? I had
planned on fitting stiffer, 1" lower shocks. This is definitely not an
option with these tires. Any comments?
