hi , i was driving my sax last weekend taking the same corner kind of hard, and i got out because i could smell honey along with burned rubber ?

, i then looked underneath my car to find the inner sidewall of the offside rear tyre was piping hot and no longer said Toyo,the car has 195/50/15s on it and i knew from the start there was slight scrubbing but is it just me or have i bent it?

i then got advised not to drive it incase the tyre went through ? shall i keep driving it ? and would this be happening because that Tyre just scrubbed higher up in the arch if you get me ?

Jack your car up and hold the wheel at 10 and 5 and fill for play.

like the time on a clock, stop hammering your car around if it isn't mechanically sound!

I didnt see much camber tbh buddy.. probably more on mine

Drive it carefully and listen for rubbing.. after half an hour if its cold, its all good
