What is the difference between rim-protecting tires and regular tires?
1 Answers
Rim-protecting tires differ from regular tires in their structure. Here are the relevant details: 1. Rim-protecting tires: There is a protruding ring near the bead area of the tire, and this protruding part is made of rigid rubber. When the tire rubs against the curb, the rigid rubber can withstand the impact and protect the rim from scratches. 2. Regular tires: Tires without rim protection do not have this protruding ring near the bead area. When the tire rubs against the curb, the softer sidewall cannot withstand the strong impact, making it highly likely for the rim to get damaged.
