Best Answer

The tire could be rubbing if you have oversize tires, or aftermarket rims. The only other cause would be a failure of a part in the brake system.

What is wrong with a 2004 Chrysler Sebring when the tires make a rubbing noise when driving?

Are the tires actually rubbing or do you just hear a noise? If they are rubbing you have a serious front end problem. If you are just hearing a noise it could be that your front brake pads are worn out. There is a little metal pad built onto the brake pads that rub when the pads are worn out, telling you that it is time to have them attended to.
