okay...went to walley-world the other day and get some new tires. since walmart sells the same stuff you can buy at a tire places...just hella cheaper. and they told me that 225/60R16 would work for me. so...being late and already at walmart for an hour i said sure, now come to find out that the tires are rubbing on my springs and wearing a groove in the inside of the tire. bad thing or not?? i'm not thinking it is....but is there a quick way to fix it, besides the obvious and going to getting smaller ones....cash is a little short to do that.
