|  Tyre Question A couple of weeks before xmas, I had got some new Pirelli tyres put on the front. Since then, i notice that when on full lock, the tyres rub against the inside of the wheel arch. I can't say I noticed this before with the OE Dunlop tyres on, but to be honest, that doesn't mean to say it didn't happen, only that i was never aware of it. Anyone else noticed this when changing tyres? |

| Re: Tyre Question Did you keep the tyre size the same when you changed? Has the wheelarch liner slipped perhaps to make it rub? |

| Re: Tyre Question cant imagine the liner has slipped cause it happens on both sides. Not 100% sure about the size. I just dropped it off and left it with them. They have to authorise the fitting of new tyres with the contract leasing company. So, I can only assume they got it right.  |

| Re: Tyre Question Have a look at the size marked on the tyre side wall e.g. 195/55 R 15. Is it the same front vs. back? It ought be. |
