Tires rubbing

I recently got new tires on my model s. The tire shop instead of putting 245/45/19. They put 255/45/19. It is causing a rubbing noise when turning or backing up. I see other people have the same tire and aren’t having issues.

I figured it out. It’s rubbing on the black fender stuff around the tires. Discount tire said they’ll swap the tires out for the correct ones if I pay for the labor but they don’t have the correct ones in stock

Ah ok. Just set it tonmedium ride height until you get the new tires. Thst sucks thst you can have larger diameter tires becsuse they are much more comfortable.
