Dunlop sport maxx & rim protector

[Orablue]

hi

 

anyone knows if dunlop sport maxx has rim protector? dunlop website indicate that it has MFS (max flange shield == rim protector) but i read some where here that said it doesn't. btw, i'm currently using dz101 215/45/17 and i find that MFS is quite effective.

 

also, i noticed there are a number of different sport maxx models available on the web. anyone knows which specific sport maxx model is available in singapore?

 

thanks!

Dunlop Sports Maxx Boh rim protector one

 

I have used it as my previous set of tyres

I'm now on Yokohama S-Drive which has rim protector

 

Bro, it's better to get tyres with rim protector IMHO

 

My previous set of rims was slightly 'Buanged' Huay Huay because the tyres did not have rim protector cos i'm used to park my ride either more to left/right which resulted in kerb scratching onto the rims

 

At least with rim protector ones, the tendency would be reduced IMHO

[Discoburg]

Roger bro. That will be my next set of tyres.

u mean the small rubber "sticks" that protrude out???

[Civic6656]

No, it's the rubber protrusion around the rim.

oic... but look small leh.

[Boyboy]

it's that lip that protrudes. just look around at the carpark. "sporty" tires will have it, usually.

 

see the yellow circled portion in my pic. that is an exaggerated example. i bio rim protectors almost as much as i bio nice female curves . most rim protectors are much less pronounced than those on my potenza GIIIs

icic... Guess my DNA ES501 dun have such feature.

 

didn't know abt this rim protctor thingy. Thank!

Bro, i believe must see model

I always thought rim protector is the entire piece of sidewall that protudes out more than the rim to prevent it from being scatched. So it is just one strip?
