Bridgstone RE050 Tyres (With Rim Protection)
Falken GRB FK 452 (with Rim protection)
Toyo Proxes T1-R Reinforced (with rim protection)
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 (with rim protection)
Continental Conti-Sport Contact 2 reinforced (with rim protection)
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx (with rim protection)
Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Pirelli P Zero Nero
Yokohama Parada (supplied on factory built CTR)
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric.

There are also a good few other cheaper tyre makes, but these are the main big one. So if you need tyres you have a little bit of choice, interesting that there are so many with rim protection, like the 18s have but yet they don't supply rim protection tyres with the Rages. Cost is one issue and maybe they thought that they looked better?

That's me told!!

As it seems they are obviously available, I think it's a shame that they didn't decide to fit tyres with a rim protector, as there isn't much rubber between the rim and the road and simply dropping down a deep pothole will probably damaged the wheels.

I wouldnt think so, i actually think the 19" are lighter than the 18", so maybe even better
