Not much to say about the King Boss G866. If you're an enthusiast, do not fit this tyre. Come to think of it, if you're a regular person, do not fit it either. It's just bad in the wet.

Rim Protection
Small

A modest lip. Enough for a slow scrape against a kerb, but it will not save a wheel from a real hit.

Assessed by eye on the tyres we tested, in the sizes listed. No manufacturer publishes rim protection as a specification, so treat this as a guide rather than a measurement.
