Oh, ok, I thought I missed something.

Also, I solved my rubbing mystery. I had the stealer look at it while it was in getting its new headlight put in, and they say the car was designed for either PS2's or ContiSport 2's, and that the sidewalls on the All-Season version of the Pilot-Sports are much higher than what would be spec, and that the tread is also raised significantly compared to the summer versions.

So, even though I technically have the correct tire sizes, apparently I don't *really* have the correct sizes. The tech said this is why my fronts were rubbing if the wheel was in the lock position. He also said it's doing it equally on both sides, but I just thought it was the one side because that's what I was hearing when I drove. The SA showed me another R129 they had in, and he was right. The tires showed the same exact sizes as mine printed on them, but the summer PS2's that one was wearing had sidewalls that were probably half as tall as the all-season Pilot-Sports that mine wears. There is a definite difference.
