I have F1 D3 GS tires, they have built in rim protectors, as did the stock Contis that came off the car, but if that hole is deep and sharp edged, nothing is going to save the rim...you want to save rims, go back to 70's...these tires and rims are for performance, not off roading...there isn't any side wall to speak of on a 30 or 35...so pot holes, curbs, even rolled curbs are a no no.....noooo

J-Fire, you heard wrong...I worked those puppies to death at the Dragon...the hotter the better....the F1 D3s are summer tires only and sticky...
