Despite tread rubbers and awareness during access and egress, I still get a few scuffs on BOTH sides. It is the nature of the design of the car. Tread rubbers are largely cosmetic, and I find them a nuisance when washing or polishing.
Thank you - I think this is the most important point. If I'm going to get scuffing even with the treads, I may as well just get some better PPF fitted so that it can be buffed out.
