I can tell you that Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position have small rim-protecting lips.

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 has a pronounced lip at the base of the sidewall.

Just avoid curbs like the plague and you'll be much better off that hoping a thin rubber rib will help

I rubbed a corner once, I think it would have helped if my ex hadn't screamed as I was approaching it. If I had only a 1/4, perhaps a 1/2 inch more...lol. That was with my 330i.
