Just a point, everyone seems to be assuming he means denting it while fitting the tyre. I assumed he meant if you hit a pot hole, that the tyre was taller (albeit by a few mm) and thus had more chance of absorbing the bump before it hit the rim. I'm not sure it'll make a lot of difference but thought we should consider this.

Peace!
