Hi Rick, I have 195x60/15 Avon tires on my B. They are mounted on 15" x 6"
Dayton wire wheels (72 spoke). Yes there is some rub. I can tell you that
when they rub you are hanging on tight, and if you have a passenger in the
car, the passenger would rather be watching from the curb! When the
"rub" happens and my wife is with me I get one of those "looks", you know
the one, "if you ever do that again.................".
The rub is audible but I really haven't noticed any marks on the tires. I
am told a pan hard rod would eliminate the problem.
