(affordable) Tires with "Rim Protector"

**poorprince** · June 23rd, 2012 12:59 AM

Im looking for R15-R17 tires with Rim protectors. SO far the ones i tried with rim protectors are some models of Bridgestone, Yokohamas, Fulda. China/Taiwan tires would have been great but the Nankangs and MAxxis that i tried had no protectors. ANy suggestions?

Maxxis Victra MA-Z1 may rim guard po. Ito yung tires na pinagmumukhang lubog yung rim ng wheels di ba? CMIIW though. Got our 195/55/15 for 3.2k each.

Check federal also, sobrang umbok ng rim guard.

If 3.2 k is too much, perhaps you really don't want sporty tires... that's downright cheap for a low-pro with rim protectors.

Personally, I'd go for the Federal 595s... more secure handling and breakaway than the Maxxis, which, although grippy, has soft and wobbly tread blocks.

Ok maxxis, pero pansin ko lang mukhang mahina sidewall, 2x ako na lubak ng grabe, -bumukol. 15s pa yun.

Federal nakakatuwa yun rim guard, kaso for my case sumasayad yun 'guard' sa shocks kaya napilitan ako mag 5mm spacers.

On nankangs, tumutupi ang side wall when used hard on the track. Lol

I've noticed minsan depende rin sa rim na ginagamit, sometimes hindi rin ganong ka pasok kahit pa may rim protector.

sir niky, which Federal (215/45R17) will you recommend: SS 595 or 595 EVO?
