Read a bunch of threads and debates here on 31 vs. 33 KO2’s and pulled the trigger on the 31’s for my stock, still OEM suspension, 86 FJ60. I upgraded from wild country 30x9x15 on the OEM rims, and now have an odd problem.
When turning right, I get what sounds like a loud rubbing sound and vibration. No problems turning left. I went back to shop and they say clearances for tires/wheels look good on front wheels. It’s kind of hard to tell direction/source of sound when driving in circles in parking lot, but when at speed on road it almost sounds like coming from rear tires.
These tires ought to fit, should I press harder on the tire shop or is an old suspension a likely culprit? I’d appreciate any insight from those more experienced than me.
