Hey SouthArk, sorry, just wanted to add that if you do track your car and the driver ahead goes into a gravel trap, he/she could be flinging gravel into your condenser, radiator or oil cooler at a very high speed. For me, its really to avoid granite/gravel falling off dump trucks and hitting my car on the freeways. Even if the chips don't result in a puncture, they distort the cooling fins and reduce the cooling efficiency. On the second day I got this car, a tiny stone from the opposite side of the freeway flew over and chipped my windscreen. Wouldn't want that in my radiator.
