Pebbles and rocks kicked up by tires
 
I have a 2010 Z with low profile tires. It seems like recently I constantly have pebbles and rocks kicked up by the tires and smacking around in the wheel well and even bouncing outside and chipping paint. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah everyday...never any paint chipped though. How wide are your tires?

After a hard ride thru the mountains my tires are shooting rocks like they where buck shot banging all around in the wheel well.:icon14:

you can buy pre-cut clear bra for your rockers or just do wat i did... buy a roll of 3M clear bra for truckbeds through amazon and install it along the sides. :)

here's the pre-cut stuff:

I noticed my winter tires rarely ever kick up audible rocks or anything like the summer tires did. Could be treads or compound, not sure.

commonplace

100% normal for a sports car w/wide tires and wheels. when I got my clear bra done, I had my guy custom cut out clear bra to cover the rocker panels, and also part of the area behind the front and back wheels.

Softer compound tires will do this..

Clear bra is the answer...

Those Advan Sport tires are sticky, sticky...they definitely let you stick to the road real good!

Splash guards stopped a lot of the stuff from hitting my sides.
