[QUOTE="Joshua Mercer, post: 815693, member: 66758"] Ok Carmax states that the stock tire for a 04' Sport trac LXT is 235/70R16. Even with the placard on the door stating clearly 255/70R16 they persist that ford made an error when the card was stamped! i Retract my previous opinion about Carmax that i made on the other post.. thier morons. However Firestone placed 255/70R16 Bridgestone Revo's on my truck at no cost. They still are scrubbing but not as bad as they where. I asked them if it was caused by bushings, sway bar, bad alignment, or shocks and they said that all checked out ok. They suggested a suspension upgrade with a better sway bar and while im at it to add 1/8-1/4 spacers. If the tires are now "stock" size why are they still scrubbing? However CARMAx did fix my tranny and installed back up sensors for my $50 deductable... :D [/QUOTE]
