Hello to everyone, just need a recommendation of what tyres I should purchase. I have at present 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear Falken tyres. I have no rim protecters and I keep kerbing the rims a I park the car. Does anyone have an account as to what's the best tyres to get that's will protect my rims.
WhatsApp tyres ?

Falken can supply tyres with rim protection, model FK510 - I have 235/40 R18 on the front and you get a reasonable buffer before the rim gets clouted. Another alternative is Eagle F1's....

Just be aware that the so called rim protection is not fail safe. if the tire touches the kerb, the protection can be compressed and consequently the rim is still dammaged. I experienced it a couple of times with other cars!
I do not trust them anymore and would say that the best protection is a passenger mirror that inclines downwards when the revese gear is engaged (I was positively surprised to find this feature on my 850 from 1991) ...combined with a very careful approach. -
Thanks for your advice guy's, will consider a tyre change.
Just another question, I have 235/35/19 front and 265/30/19 rear cannot I go bigger /wider. 245/40/19 front and 275/40/19 rear, will this make anything difference. -
You can go to 285mm on the rears without any problems - that was the OEM width on the csi as was 245 on the front:

Thanks Timm for your imput and advice.
