    The tyres have now been replaced.

    Previous:
    225/35/19 - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3

    Now:
    235/35/19 - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S



    During a 45 minute drive yesterday, there were a few instances of rubbing in the rear, so I'll look into camber adjustment.

    Mine came with factory 19’s and I also run 235’s. In the four year’s I’ve had it I never noticed any rubbing until December last year when I was doing a long run with 4 people + luggage. And then only infrequently on undulations in the road and some corners taken at speed.

    not the width of tyre, it’s the wheel offset, these wheels stick out 24mm with the same size tyres
    if your factory spec rubs it’s more likely the car was overloaded
    the rub area is the top outer edge of the wheel arch liner, adjust the rear camber can help but will reduce the life of those precious tyres
