Kinda took awhile, but I got them off to take a look today after clay barring the car. I looked everywhere once I took them off to see any shiny spots, marred edges, etc. I took a few pictures right after I took the tires off just so when id start stickin my fingers around, it wouldn't take the dust off.




I still believe this is the enemy of my tires right now. I took off those little mudflap things and was hoping it was those, and I loaded my back seat up with 10 gallon buckets of sand, but still rubbed. This is what I saw before and after that drive:

So what do you think, is it rubbing on the strut?
