New to this forum and proud new owner of a black 2010 supercab FX4. Am I the only one experiencing some tire rub with stock 18s & tires? I've got about 2400 miles on the truck so far including some 4x4 on some gnarly rutted hills and absolutely love it. However, my tires regularly rub on rather benign off-camber corners with small dips that are common throughout my neighborhood even at very slow speed. This is highly annoying but is it worth complaining about? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks

 

never heard of a stock anything with tire rub... might want to take it to your dealer.

Thats weird... and its bone stock right?

 

What brand and size of tire do you have?

 

Yep. They are Goodyear Wranglers, P275/65 R18s

 

Do you have any mudflaps that could be rubbing? can you see where it is rubbing?

 

even with mud flaps it should not be rubbing with stock tires take look for yourself see whats rubbing if it is a problem it could be part of the fender liner not installed right this was you can take it to the dealer and show him the problem or it could be a fix you can do yourself DO A LITTLE TROUBLE SHOOTING.

 

Are you sure you're not confusing TSC/RSC kicking in for rubbing? Sometimes when the brakes grab, it may sound like a rub, but it's actually your braking system engaging.

 

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

Thanks for the replies. It is a rather obvious scraping sound, loud enough for my girlfriend to say "what the hell was that" after turning through a little dip in a parking lot. Thing is, I can't yet find any definite scuff marks on the fender liner. Maybe I can see more when I get it cleaned up this weekend.
