Without pulling up some of my previous posts about the topic, I used to work for a tier 1 tire manufacturer. These OE tires are DIFFERENT from the cup2s you can buy off the shelf at tire rack as generic replacement tires. They’re designed specifically for the car.
I know I’m waiting for them to become available  |
Riddle me this. Are some OE tires designed on purpose to protect the wheel lip? The way the tire protrudes on my current car seems to provide a bit of lateral bumper, and vertical protection when merging onto uneven pavement. I am concerned that if I go to non oem it might be more flush with wheels.
