Did you change tire profiles?
I've seen the clearance go to nearly zero with the fender when changing tire profiles. Even within the same aspect ratio between brands there can be a significant profile difference.
Usually you'll hear little bits of grit getting caught between the tread and fender or those little mod release nubs, but I'm thinking maybe the carcass is deflecting into the fender under lateral load.
(Then there is the pic of the fender melted through from the underside floating somewhere around the intarwebs....)
