I have never owned anything larger than 18 inch wheels on a car..
always ran 55 series or higher tires because I like sidewall.. not a big fan of rubber band tires...
I see wheels for sale here all the time, and they almost always have curb rash..
now I can't recall having EVER rubbed the tires on my car on a curb.. obviously with 225/60 R18 wheels if I curbed the tires it would only scuff the rubber.
now I am getting SRT wheels from a member here, which IIRC are running the stock 245 /45 ZR20 tires..
ok a little less sidewall..
how is it that everyone curbs their wheels? I mean, hitting a curb, or rubbing a curb not only tears up the tires, wheels, etc but can cause alignment issues as well..
now my mom is over 70, and she has 225/75 R16's on her car and they have the white wall stripe. on the right side of the car (passenger side) the tires are scuffed and torn to hell.. from her.. yep curbing the tires.... and she has curb feelers on the car (remember those)
ok but mom is over 70, short, and half blind...
what's everyone else's excuse?
I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything, it's just I am finally getting a nice set of SRT wheels, they have ZERO curb rash on them and are in prime condition... I don't wanna trash them, so what is it I need to be careful of?
