Tire friction

October 22, 2010 · A discussion from the forum archive

Here's the problem: we bought a set of Rosava tires, all-season, model BC-10, size 155/70 R13 — everything seems standard, but on turns and U-turns they rub against the protection. The noise is terrible! Meanwhile, the old tires behaved fine. Has anyone had a similar situation? And how to solve it? At the service center they said we should have installed a lower profile — not 70, but 55.
Most likely, the problem is not in the rubber, but in the fender liners. The standard size simply doesn't reach them. But as for installing profile 55, that's complete nonsense.
The whole thing was exactly about the wheel arch liners. Over the weekend we fixed everything: warmed them up with a heat gun and bent them inward. Now everything is great!
