I'd venture to guess over-inflation. I've been running the same size tire for a couple years now, and don't have this issue on my EXT.Pittdawg said:I ran 265-65-17 on mine and while it was extremely close to the ball joint I never experienced any rubbing. However, mine wore prematurely in the center because in my opinion 265 is a bit too wide for the stock 7 inch wheels. Not sure if the lower sidewall ratio will help or hurt that situation for the OP.
If this pic is really taken from a tire that is a 265/65/17 (that is a 30.6in diam. tire) then it would seem that at least on his vehicle a 31.0 tire could fit.No Tyme said:OK, I'll try this again.
I am running 265 65R 17" on Rainier wheels. My Trailblazer is a 2 wheel drive if that makes a differance.
