The easy way to protect your rims is to drive and park a little more carefully.
I will continue to use standard tyres as intended for the Crossfire, and not waste money on unnecssary so called improvments.
Cheerful and careful UKKen.
Ken, I actually got the 275's £8 cheaper than the best priced 255's I could find at the time.
