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.

yeah... if they screwed up you shouldn't have to pay for it... and if they say kno then say fine... i'll run the larger tires and when the groove makes em blow out and i have huge medical bills, pain and suffering, and a totaled car... you guy's will be my first call .... butt pirates!

The new tires definately ride much better now that they're the right size Kurt...they handle a whole lot better too..
