Correct. Only the steering tires have the protruding ring on each sidewall, inside and outside, and are true AntiSplash.

We do have 8 (four on the tractor and four on the trailer) of Michelin's wonderful X-One Super Singles on the truck. They are completely covered by skirts on both units, so road-side rain splashing of automobiles or other vehicles will not be an issue.

We even have aerodynamic mud flaps on both units as well to reduce splash & spray, and of course, to save fuel.
