Tire Sizing Question (275/40/17)
When I bought this 2000 Z28 last year it had 255/45/17's all around and I replced them a few months ago with 275/40/17's all around because I've seen it a few places where those were an upgrade option with the 17" rims.
I've been having an intermittent chirping that I thought was the brakes, but now I'm wondering if it could be the tires rubbing since I went to the 275/40/17's - and it seemed to have started a few days after that. Brake pads and rotors are all 6 months old and have been lubed, sprayed, etc.
Thanks.

If it happens over dips in the road while going straight, it just might be a tire rub, due to the rear tire rubbing the outer fender. If it happens while turning, it could be the front tire rubbing the inner fenders, at the leading edge. Any evidence of rubbing on the sidwalls of any of the tires?
