I believe alot of C3 owners have 255/60-15 tires on their cars. Here's a tip. Don't hold the steering wheel at full lock.When you think about it, do you really need to hold it at full lock?

Let me rephrase , it comes in contact before full lock so much as to smooth the raised letter right down to the side wall. Have to be careful with your choice of words here everyone's a smart ***

After further review and some digging apparently its common for the optional size C3 tire to just kiss the front sway bar, however if it is not centered it will more than kiss the sidewall. Problem solved.
