Michelin pilot have the rim protection. I'm getting these for my VTR alloys. There quite expensive but i think worth every penny considering they are the main thing holding you to the road

tyre sticks out further than the rim, so if u hit a kerb, the tyre takes the impact not the alloy

I've got Zero Neros on the Corsa and Parada 2 on the Astra.

The Pirellis are very confident in the wet, nice in the dry, low noise at speed, good all round tyre. The Yokos are terrible in the wet, noisy, wear too fast and have a well round shoulder so forget rim protection. Having said that they're outstanding in the dry and the shoulder helps if you've not much room...
