Hi, my car is sitting on 195/50/15 tyres. Only recently I have changed from 185/55/15 tyres


All of a sudden, every time I go round left hand corners I hear a rubbing/grating sound.

Car has got good discs, I just put new front pads and rear cylinders on. Also new track rods.

Just had my wheels tracked, still doing it. Also had my rear suspendion checked and springs/shocks etc are all in good nick.

Supposedly according to the garage the whole car is sound.


Can't understand why this is happening????

probably just the wheel catching on the inner arch, put the car on full lock and get out and have a look, i guess it'l be catching on either the mud guard or on the inner edge of the tyre on the chassis... or either the top outer edge on the top of the arch trim.
