    Max IV tire rubbing

    My front tires on my Max IV seem to be rubbing. Is it bearings or tub sag?

    Is the body sagging? I'm not the resident expert mind you: jack up the offending side and see if there is up and down, side to side play when you shake the tires. It thats not an issue (and the body is sagging on that side) then just jack up the side thats sagging and leave it in the hot sun for a day and night. Then take off the jack the next morning.

    Looks like the tire is over inflated.

    If you have k-lock wheels, then run 1-2PSI. If you have the older non k-lock wheels, run 4-5PSI to help keep them on the wheel.

    I just looked in your gallery and you have the newer k-lock wheels.



    By all means, do not run 5 PSI. Get a low pressure tire gauge and run a true 2 PSI. There is a HUGE difference in ride quality and since you have the k-lock wheels, there is no reason not to lower the pressure that much. You just have to make sure you have a low pressure gauge, otherwise the reading won't be accurate.
