Tire Bands for 22"

[GOPJEW]

So, I have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of the 22" black rims/tires from the referral program. However, when I went online to Evannex to order the tire bands their website says they are NOT compatible with the 22" rims...

Any suggestions on ones that are?

Thanks.

Thanks, but the link only takes me to the main page and I tried looking for bands there and could not find them - is there a search term you used?

Fill out the search criteria, select your make-model-tire size
You’ll get multiple tire brands in the size you need

Wheelbands – Durable Alloy Wheel Pinstriping and Curb Rash Protection

Seems the Gators use little visible clips... don't care for those... guessing that the adhesive lasts a year or 2... also has anyone had wheels rebalanced after install? necessary?

Get something solid like a Michelin premier ltx. Don't go Pirelli, their 'all season' tires are terrible in rain and snow.

Tire bands protect the rims from curb rash, also referred to as "blades"

I’m going to use the “free” Pirelli’s until they are done and then replace with the Conti 06...I will be using my 20’s for the winter...thanks for the info though.

But I was looking for “bands” to protect the rims...

This is what I use on my 20" wheels, you cut them to size depending on your wheel. There is enough for up to 4 22" wheels. Wheel Bands Kit

I use them on my 22s and they worked flawlessly (until Tesla had to remove the foam inside the tires meant for noise reduction - it had come loose and was causing a shimmy). Bought another set and plan on installing this weekend.

ETA: one trick: Cut both the channel and insert too big and let the pressure keep them straight. Otherwise you end up with this every so slight dip where the two ends meet. Best of luck!

Super old thread...but curious what your experience is/was with these bands. Still not sold on them in general, but after getting my first curb rash today in the 22's, keeping an open mind to prevent future blemishes after this is fixed.

Just finished trying another brand and came back to these. I like the ease of application, ease of removal (the ones I just removed were a bitch), their low profile, and the shade of red better (I know, not that big a deal).
