Are rim protector tyres worth it?
The benefits include: Protection of the wheel against kerb damage by taking the brunt of the impact instead of the wheel. This keeps wheels looking their best. It is worth noting that while rim protectors are highly effective against knocks and scapes, they are not designed to protect against high-impact damage. Rim protectors can offer an extra layer of protection — especially for new wheels or freshly refurbished alloys. However, they aren’t a silver bullet. If your alloys are already damaged, a proper wheel refurbishment is still the best way to restore their appearance and integrity.
