P235-60-15 ft and P255-60-15 rears Ft's rub when going thru jounce and rebound and if in a turn at the same time , even at slow speeds. I had 225-60-15 all the way around when I bought it and they never rubbed once.

We've had an E-body in the garage far longer than any A-body. I think we're going on 25 years with it! I just don't talk about it as much.
Thanks guys!

Another 235/60-15 in front on 15x7 with 3.75 BS 255/60-15 ih the rear on 15x8 with 4.25 BS I use to run 295/50-15's in the rear & I love the look but when the car is loaded with luggage for a road trip the tires would rub when cornering at speed.... I hate having to slow down & drive like grandpa so I gave up looking cool for driving enjoyment...

I like big tires on E-bodies too. Z-rated 325 50R15 on 10 inch ralleys in the rear & V- rated 225 60R15's on 7 inch ralleys in the front.
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

What size backspacing are you running in the rear? Do they rub at all?
5 inch backspacing, No rubbing even after launching with 3 big guys in the car, but there are very, very slight signs of contact on the leaf spring after some spirited cornering.
