Tyre Rim Protector
pazz:
Tyre width? Either way 19's are never really safe from kerbing cause the sidewall's are usually tiny :sad:

235's, that said the 18inch ST alloys with conti 2's on didnt fair any better :ashamed:
Gene Hunt:
Rim protecters are about as much use as an ash tray on a motorbike.

^^^+1.
I've kerbed my rims (not when parking!) and all that I've found is a small tear in the rim protector (tyres still intact according to four different independent specialists!).
pazz:
I was also raising the point about the different fitment of tyres that seems to be on the market. Take for example the pictures I posted up.
Both are exactly the same size tyres, yet they fit the tyre differently. Conti 2's almost fit the tyre completly square.
