Help, tires rubbing!

After i have installed the Front 225/40/R19 ,Rear 265/40/R19


my front right tire is always rubbing somewhere when my car is going forward on some broken bumpy road with 40mph/60kph


is this a serious issue that i need to concern?


Does it help if i switch to sport mode? does it make the suspension stiffer? so the tire wont hit the top?


its okay if it just hurting the tire, but im worrying that will damaging other compnents


thanks~

what's your rim width and offset? And how often do you rub? Are you lowered?

Your profile is too tall. Running on 19s you should be running 225/35/R19 and 265/30/R19.

17s stock is usually 225/45/17 and 245/40/17.
18s stock is 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.

How did you end up getting those tire sizes?

Is it a problem? no why would you think that? What's the worst that could happen, a blow out? Just ignore it carry on and kill somebody. Really, I'm pleased not to be on the same continent as you.

Get new tires for sure. Hell I even run a 255/30/19 in the rear on a 19x9.5 +38 and still rub from time to time, although not THAT often.
