Questions and Answers for the GT Radial SportActive 2

2023-06-24 - 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 :)

2024-06-02 - 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.
