Tyres with rim protectors |
The tyre industry produces tyres with rim protectors for light alloy wheels. The rim protectors are intended to protect the light alloy wheels against damage due to kerbing. |
A combination of a tyre with rim protector, a steel rim and a full-size wheel cover can lead to the loss of the wheel cover while the vehicle is in motion. The wheel cover becomes unseated due to the flexing of the tyre. |
WARNING When fitting tyres on steel rims, make sure not to use tyres which have rim protectors. |
