Tyres with a wheel rim fringe protector have the following markings on their sidewalls:
- RFP for Rim Fringe Protector
- FP for Fringe Protector
- MFS for Maximum Flange Shield
- FR for Felgen Ripen
- FSL for Felgenschutzleiste
- ML for Mit Leiste
These wheel rim protectors often equip low-profile tyres, since the wheel rims are often more exposed to impacts than when fitted on conventional tyres.
They generally cost a little more than tyres without such protection. Expect to pay an extra 10% to 15% in price.
