I just bought a set of 205/55R16 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's for my wife's 98 Tour. The problem is that the dorky spring collars that Ford put out a recall for rub on the new tires!
I mean, WTF!?! That is a standard size for the SVT! And I had 215/50R16 KDW's on that very car before the spring collars were installed, and I had no rubbing at all.
Should I insist that the dealer do something to permit my stock-size tires to work on my car, or do I have to take it upon myself to remove the offending pieces?
Anybody else run into this???
