Re: Tire questions - Turbosteel vs. XAS

Andrew,

I forgot your question about rubbing and wheel travel. On the BN2  
there is no rubbing at all and I think it looks great as it fills up  
the wheel wells, not leaving a big empty space between tire and  
fender. On a BT7 which I fitted 180/15 XAS to there was a very small  
amount of rubbing between the front wheels and inner fenders when the  
wheels were fully turned in either direction. It was not a major  
problem though. The ground clearance really benefits from these  
tires, especially in conjunction with new springs.
