But do they rub?

I had a brand new 2006 9-5 a few weeks ago as a loaner while waiting for my new 9-3 SC to be delivered, and on full steering lock, those 235 tires rub the wheel wells. Not acceptable in my opinion.
For what it's worth, the 9-3 aero can kick the 9-5's butt.Not really as nice as far as amenities and luxury( or near luxury) but as a driving car, it is quicker, handles better, and quite frankly, rides a little smoother. The array of switches and buttons and confusing knobs could puzzle an astronaut,but the car is a pleasure to drive.
