MOTION PRO Rim Shield II Tire and Wheel Tool

I love these things. Takes some getting used to but I put on tires with bib mousse (very tough) without scratching my wheels. Buy two kits for ease.

Awesome tools for helping you to keep wheels looking good

I bought these for a trip to Alaska on my BMW F800 GS. I’ve covered 2200 miles so far and experienced two flat tires already. These are great for saving your rims from scratches and work well. I could see having more than two being helpful but I’ve survived with just carrying two. One thing I would strongly consider is using a file or grinder to round off the ends on the part that hooks on the inside of the rim. The tips are like little daggers as you slide the rim protector along the rim. One caught the tube I was installing and I thought the resistance was just from the rim protector being pinched between the rim and the tire. I kept trying to slide it and ended up tearing a hole in the new tube. If the points weren’t so sharp the tube might not have gotten caught in the first place or been able to puncture the tube. So watch out for this issue which could add a patch job to your task list or stranded if you’re not carrying patches in addition to a spare tube. Ride on!

Works well and durable

You get what you pay for. Yes, these things are more expensive than the smaller ones with the string attached to it. But boy, do these things work so much better. The sweet spot is probably 3 protectors, 2 isn't enough, so do ourself a favor and order 2 sets. Money well spent, no more chipped rims.

I bought these to perhaps save my rims from scratching when changing my motorcycle tires and they do indeed work as intended. They are placed on the rims at the fulcrum point of the tire irons where it meets the rim, adding a layer of protection from the tire irons. They do tend to shoot out are the tire comes off, but they protect the rim.

Worked out okay. These didn't come in on time so I had to resort to the old school method of cutting up a laundry detergent bottle to remove the tire.Used them to put the tire on and it was good but the last bit of tire lip I needed something thinner which was where my DIY protectors came in.

These work ok but not well on all rims. Some times they really click on tight others they move around a bit. If you’re careful, in a lot of cases not even necessary. Nice to have though for some motorcycle rims
