I spoke with the folks at MCD RV (my "local" TM dealer) and they told me that there was not much clearance between the tire and the wheel well on the earlier 2006 models. The said although the clearance was within the spec which Dexter provided they switched to a different style axle sometime in 2006. This has already been pointed by Bill on this forum.
The folks at MCD said as the suspension ages, it sags a little so in some cases the tires my rub on the wheel wells causing some damage to the wheel wells.
They suggested I have a lift kit installed and I plan to have them do just that.
In spite of my reluctance to change my TM. I guess this is another reason to install the lift kit. Many people (much more experienced than I) have gone this route. The question is now once again is which tires to buy!
