I've got 265/70/17's on my 03 Eddie. Upon checking them out after 2000 miles, I've noticed the lettering rubbing off the inside wall of the drivers side tire.
I'm not technically inclined in terms of suspension, but it looks like the tire lightly rubs the upper control arm when going over bumps? Is this a sign of misalignment? To hopefully temporarily fix this, I pushed all tires up to the max pressure of 44psi instead of the 40psi they were at. I don't know if it made a difference.
It just concerns me that one side is ok while the other rubs. I had a friend mechanic look and the ball joints are fine...
