[Vwdiesel] Tire or suspension change or no change?

[Brian & Ruth Decker]

I think your problem is the weight of your camper is more than your springs and shocks can handle. I have run thousands of miles with 185-60-14 on the front of my Rabbit pickups without rubbing. On one pickup with Eibac race lowering springs and Koni shocks I had to roll the fender lips running 185-60 15.

Hello from Milton's Motorhome, based on 81 pickup.....I switched many years ago to 14 inch tires and 14 inch bus tires on the back..The front tires   used from calculation is 185-60 R-14.  to maintain proper speedometer reading....But I have 2 issues. 1. These front tires are wearing  out faster than normal. 2. When cornering  with body lean can hear a metalic rubbing sound....Should I change  something in front suspension and/or tire size. The rear bus tires are fine but are taller...Not sure if these would fit in front without more rubbing issues and of course the speedometer issue......
