My Wildtrak was finally delivered earlier this month, and it is everything I had hoped for and more. However I have a fairly long gravel driveway and as discussed ad nauseum on this forum the Goodyear Terrains throw rocks like Ernest T. Bass. To mitigate paint damage I had the vulnerable areas covered with Xpel, but here’s the funny part: When I get to the end of my drive I get out and pry the rocks I can see out of the tires. My neighbor laughs at me and my wife calls me Mr. Monk. Is there anyone out there as nuts as me?

I'll pry out the massive rocks that catch my eye, but that's few and far between. If you care that much, install mud flaps like I did.

I’d do the same. They won’t ever understand our plight.

y’all don’t know how to drive with big recon’d tires. Slow on the pebbles, and slow for 10sec after to clean it out

probably doesn’t work with small 35s since the lugs are too close, works with anything bigger

No therapy necessary. I do same thing and carry a stubby flathead😆 to pick out rocks when I notice.

First reason is your reason. Second reason is the click from the rocks has led me on goose hunt for bigger issue. It’s always the rocks lodged in tread. So far.
