FYI 2014 zl1 the 315s do rub with two people in car. So everyone on here must be 90lbs soaking wet or drive only on runway smooth roads to be saying they do not rub.

This is a convertible BTW. The extra 400 pounds may be the difference.

I have had mine with two people (I am no lightweight) fully loaded for a trip and drove spiritedly through 100 miles of twisties and they never rubbed once. I have PSS 315s on the back and 295s on the front.

No rubbing on my 2015 with two 200+ LB men in the car (my son & I).

Convertibles? Suspension set on sport or tour? Also it's drivers side only and it looked like the OEM tire had rubbed at some point. I'll see if I can post a pic.

Sven, are you lowered ? I dropped .5 inches. I'm about to get new tires and I'd like a little more rubbber. My stock tires will probably be asking for relief at 6,000 miles. If there are 2 examples of minor drops with no rub, I'll strongly consider it.

Not lowered, but have heard of a few guys running them on lowered cars, but they never talked about passengers or extra weight.

Nice thing about the PSSs is the sidewall sticks out more than the GYs. Protects the wheels a little better.
