I'll definitely give it a much closer inspection tomorrow after work.. if I'm rubbing the fender, I'm going in for an alignmen.

but would it go all the way around like that? why such a deep indent if it only happened once? to my laymen's eye it looks like something that was caused by constant erosion..

you guys gotta stop with the honda and/or bridgestone warranty pipe dream.....

tires DO NOT wear like that from contact with pavement - they're indented!!!

they're rubbing from overly aggressive driving....plain and simple.

Come on Qik!
Where is our qik answer to your inspection of the inner fender?
What did you find up under there?
Me suspect some rubber and a worn fender molding...
