What is the consensus on running board tread rubbers? To have or not to have? I know the modern look is not to have them and this always look great. But there is a lot of acreage on the wider winged Roadster and the treads break that up a little. I’m also having a traditional stud roof and I can’t help thinking that wing treads go with that look.

I had wing treads on my last car but with Defendall paint protection film added for protection I found the wings became quite tatty and scuffed around the rubber treads which looked worse. Replacing the film is quite expensive. I wonder if it’s worth dispensing with Defendall on the wings altogether - perhaps it would be easier and even cheaper to just touch the wings up every couple of years.

Advice and views appreciated.
