Do any of you have problems with rubbing with the 275s?

Be sure to have the tires road force balanced and get your alignment done at the best shop in town. It's money well spent and the only way to completely solve both of those problems. Good luck.

Thanks Eric. I am actually going to take the car to the dealer to get it aligned. I live in a small town and, unfortunately, I don't think any of the stores can align anything. Heck, there was only one place here that would mount and balance a 20 inch tire. I would hate to see what they would say if I decide to step up to 22s but that would be a huge waste of money here because our roads suck and I would be continually either repairing or replacing the wheels, not to mention the chiropractic bills.

I hear that about the huge but thin tires.

I hope your dealer can align and balance your tries properly, I unfortuantely have my doubts. Where do you live?

I up in a small town in northeast Iowa. Soon relocating to Dallas, TX where the roads don't take the beating of long winters and grain trucks.
