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...

The 70 Challenger has been sitting for years on 275/50/15's, but will roll with something wider when it hits the road. Just cant decide whether i want to give up the ability to throw on 15" steelies and redlines for the nostalgia weekends when i go for 13" disc all around...
