Hi guys, would a size of 225/45 R19 have a rim protector on this tire?

I've spoken to GT Radial and they say that size does have a rim protector :)

June 2, 2024

Does the Active Sport 2 tire size 255/35/20 97y have the rim protection.

Yes, all UHP GT Radial tires have rim protection. It's not as big as some of the Bridgestone and Pirelli offerings, but it's there.

Latest GT Radial SportActive 2 Reviews

Given 90% while driving a Holden Commodore VE (245/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 1,200 spirited miles

Great value for money sports tire, with very good grip levels in the dry and wet. Vastly reduced hydroplaning frequency, and has the ability to take sharp corners at much higher speeds compared to lesser brands. Some increased tire noise compared to more expensive brands. Highly recommended for the price point.
