2012 c63 saloon
Well I've had the c63 for a few months now. All seems well so I decided it was time to chuck a few quid at her. So the cracked/perished and recently leaking Dunlop sportmaxx have been replaced by a fresh set of Michelin pilot super sports. I was blown away by the difference they made to my focus Rs and they fully delivered again. I also decided to go up to a 265 rear. Looks a bit better imo and obviously I've got a bit more of the car touching the road now. Which can only be a good thing.
 
Does the extra width of tyre provide any extra rim protection?
Photo if poss.
Ta.
 
Not particularly. But I find that certain models of tyres have bigger rim protectors than others
 
Oh right.
I thought the extra width may over hang a little more than standard fit tyres.
Yes I have pilot sport 3,s on a Focus which have the rim protectors which I do find useful...when the wife drives it.!
 
Not really no. But you can definitely see the extra width in the tyre when you look at the back of the car
