Have you always had the larger tires, or are they new? If they are new, have you trimmed the cladding any? Before the trim my cladding/tire noises would happen when the wheels where turned because that's when the tire contacts the point of the cladding in front of them.

One way to tell would be to let someone drive the VX (I know, I know...SIN!!) with you walking along side to see what might be rubbing.
I have had the tires since I purchased the VX about 2 months ago. After I readjusted the torsion bar so that the VX was correctly level again and not pointed towards outerspace, I dremelled the front inner corner of the cladding. Everything looked good for no rubbing from the front of the tire. However, I don't usually drive forward out of large curbed driveways. I usually back out. I think/hope that with my tire turned to the right, the outside edge of the tire was close to the inside edge of the back of the cladding (are you still with me?) and then with the added gravity and wierd angle the tire caught the cladding. And not the front cladding, but the rear cladding (of the front tire).

Holy crap. I think I just went cross eyed.
