I just put on the Hankooks and even though they have a lip protector they definitely don't have the rim protection of my old pS2's. Seem to be a bit narrower on 8.5/9.5" wheels in the 235/35 and 265/30 19 sizes.

lol, you know those wheel lip protection doesn't work well when wife use our car as a 4x4 and run over curb right?

wheel lip protection are not wife proof, they need to drive tank man, not regular car.
