[QUOTE="madmatt, post: 116868, member: 93"] In all honesty, I think it's down to the offset too LOW ET value. They rub more than they used to on the same sized tyres over bumps etc. I [b]THINK[/b] it's because the R1-Rs have stiffer sidewalls and a much lower void shoulder than the T1-Rs so the tread surface actually sticks out more than it used to. That's where they used to Neil, trouble is, when it used to, I had dry days so you could see where it's streaked the tyre slightly but it hasn't been dry ONCE when it's rubbed :evil: When I looked earlier when I switched the wheels back, it was as if the seam at the front where the 2 skins meet on the sills had rubbed a bit....the profile's no lower than previous and it never did...some digging needed I think. Hahah, cheers matey :) Wondered how long it would take you to find this :) [/QUOTE]
