- [Speaker] Hey Jared.
- What?
- What are rim protectors?
- I'm glad you asked that. Come over here, so rim protectors are a non structural part of the tyre which is aimed to protect the tyre, so you can see it here, if you're not a very good driver and you hit the tyre against the curb. So, they're non-structural so it doesn't actually matter if you brush them up against the curb or give them, you know, rough treatment.
If you're a bit worried about it make sure you go see your tyre shop but you will see these on probably more high-end tyres and they're also- you have different levels of rim protector as well, so we're lucky enough to have two Pirelli tyres. This is the P7 here and this is the P0 and you can see the rim protector on the P0 is actually quite a lot more chunky than the rim protector on the P7. [plane whirs overhead] Ignore the plane going overhead because we're near an airport. Good one.
You can even see them on like, big mud tyres like this. So this is a 35 inch mud terrain tyre which still has a rim protector. However, if you're stupid enough to buy rims that actually come outside the tyre, it's your own damn fault and you're still going to end up grinding your rims. Probably not with something like this, but with a low profile tyre, then it's your own fault. [Outro Music]
