I have the same size (or maybe 60-series...?) tires on my wahr wheels with
similar results. Scrapes on hard (aren't they all, though?) left turns with or
without passenger. I spent about 45 minutes with a block of wood and hammer to
no
avail. The condition of my exterior doesn't warrant much concern for aesthetics,
so I was hitting it pretty hard. If you get clearance, please let me know how.
