These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Porsche Club GB: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Please can anyone tell me if there is a 265/35/18 that offers some type of rim protection? I have the 18" turbo look alloys on this car & the rear rim sticks out from the tyre whereas the front does not & is sunk into the tyre more? i know,I know I should learn how to park but the rim lips seem to be quite prominent.

POST 2Original post

Bridgestone RE050A's have a thick rim protector - at least they do on the sizes on mine! http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/car-tyres-BRIDGESTONE/POTENZA,RE,050,A/265,35,R18,93,Y,%281Z%29.html

POST 3Original post

Continental SportContact2s have very good rim protection compared to the others - Michelin, Pirelli

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ahh that's it, I have just replaced the rear Continental SportContact2 s with a pair of Pirelli's ,the front are still Continental SportContact2 s.

POST 5Original post

POST 6Original post

Check out Alloy Gators @alloygators.com, saw them in Evo magazine, £37.50 + VAT for 4 off, fits up to and inc. 21" alloys.looks a bargain compared to new alloys or a repair. No i am not on the payrole, they just look the answer to a problem. 996 Cabriolet C2
