“2005 Chevrolet EXPRESS 3500. Parking brake cable on rear, drivers side, rubbing against side of tire. Tire rubs down until it breaks.

I only saw it because I was looking under the car for a new metallic clanking noise (that is something else). My new tire was almost rubbed through after only 3 weeks. …”
