    Default 14 tyres - which have rim-protecting sides and which don't?

    Hey guys!

    Been looking at tyre options for a set of 14x8 +0 and 14x8.5 -7 SSR MK3

    I've reduced it down to this list in what's available to get.
    Generally, everyone tends to run RE001 - and even though they're still currently listed in catalogs/brochures - shops are reluctant to put in any searching effort for them

    I was just wondering, which of these tyres have a decent rim protecting sidewall similar to the RE001? I'm not too fussed on awesome performance, as I will be running 15s for the tyre choice when I need to. Or a tyre that hides massive dishes out the sides of the guards. I find running stretched tyres isn't too bad/coppers don't take much notice if it's tyre instead on rim poking.
