255/30 R22, what to know before fitting
Pothole damage is the biggest enemy on low-profile tyres. Avoid kerbing at all costs, even a light scuff can compromise the sidewall internally without obvious external damage. Run digital pressure checks regularly; over- or under-inflation is more punishing on a 35–40 profile than on a higher-profile tyre.
