Just put a set of 4 Toyo Eclipse 235-75-15 on mine with white wall out. Cost me $95 each plus sales tax at my local tire store.

I wonder if some 235s have a wider section width than others. Those on my car don't exhibit a large bulge, characteristic of many radial tires.

Where were they rubbing? Leading edge or trailing edge? Both?


They were rubbing in the frame mostly when turning right.

I'd have to agree with Willysnut1959 here. Toyo tires may be your best bet when it comes to replacements. From what I hear, they are very affordable nowadays and the quality is just remarkable.
