Default Rim and Tire help
Anyone know why the tire is like that around the lip and not flushed like the one next to it? Rim is 20x12, tire is 335/30/20.

Thank you. Any idea why the front set doesn't have the same "rim saver"?

the rim saver response was just a guess...i have no idea why the same model tire would have a different feature for other sizes.
i went to michelin's site...they offer no explanation that i could find.

The rim protector is a very valuable and worth while tire feature. It has saved me more than once.
