Tire rub

[SSSST]

I have a stock height 4th gen 07 SR5 and it had 265/70 17's Goodyear Wranglers w/ kev on it for over 3 years with no problems at all. I just purchased same size Yokohama GO15's and they seem to be rubbing somewhere (smell rubber after driving a bit). Where would be the most likely place they would rub? What would be the cheapest solution?

You would definitely hear the sound of rubbing if it was occurring more than likely. Just stick your head in the front wheel wells and have a looksie, should be an obvious wear mark somewhere if you can smell the rubber but I kinda doubt the smell is from rubbing if you don't hear/feel it rub.

Steal your kid's sidewalk chalk and give everything a pink makeover.
Check for rubbing.

Front set, the rears will pretty much never rub on the street.

Tire Rub

I checked the tires completely and not a single scratch anywhere on them. I believe it's something else like something dripping on the exhaust or something?
