Fat Lip Budniks On A Goodyear F1 Gs-d3
Got my new tires in today and saw that the GOODYEAR F1 GS-D3 have a lip on the tire that is called a rim protector. It almost looks like it is made for a standard stepped rim. Is this going to be a problem with Fat Lip Rims? Maybe a little paranoid but want to make sure.

I think that just there to sell more tires, so you think that if you rub a curb it wont do anything. I dont think that the tire is any differant. If it just has the extra rubber bead.

not for protection
No I dont think that it will protect it that much. I really like the Goodyear f1 gs-d3 tire. Aggresive looking tire tread for sure. The rim protection line was just part of the tire. Didnt buy it for that reason. It just threw me when I saw it ans wondered if it would interfer with the tire mounting of a fat lip. Guess I dont need to worry?

Just to be safe, ask the guy who you will buy your tires from, or ask Budnik, I am sure they will have an answer.
