The only reason this particular setup rubs, even though the tire is identical to the OEM front one, is because the profile of the PA4 snow tire is a lot more squared at the edges compared to the summer tires.
PS It's a bit of an exaggeration to say the tire on that side actually rotates slower from a bit of plastic rubbing...  Do you realize the forces that would be required to do that?  |
Yes, forgot to mention, I'm on MP coilovers, standard lowering + PA4s in standard summer sizes. So I had do the heat gun trick, quite a bit of it.
>> an exaggeration to say the tire on that side actually rotates slower
No, it's not. I had stabilization nannies saying hi on the dashboard, and could feel it, when driving enthusiastically.
