Front Tires Rubbing!
Got new tires last weekend same brand and size as I've had for the last two years. I don't get 2 miles before I hear a grinding I first thought was the brakes. Got new front brakes and rotors the next day. Still here the noise so I take the car in the next day and they say my tires are rubbing up top. The noise has produced a groove in my new tires. Anyone had a similar issue?

I believe they're supposed to be 245/30/20 up fronts with 2-5?/25/20's in the rear

I would also be very wary of the shop that let you replace your brakes as a result of this. . .on three separate occasions, I have gone in telling my guys that something was wrong with my brakes - on two out the three occasions - it wasn't brake related and they made sure to tell me that, even though I told them I was willing to pay for the pad and rotor changes...
