Most Bronco picture I see the tires are free of rocks. Look at the tire after driving along the gravel access road to my house.

Looks pretty normal to me. The Grabber tread pattern is very similar to the BFG AT which is notorious for picking up rocks. The tread block openings are 3/4" or tighter...meaning 3/4-minus (I'm exaggerating, but it sure seems so).

A/T tires are grippy, this is to be expected. I’d definitely invest in some quality mudflaps if you plan to drive down rocky roads often.

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

Well, that's better than the Goodyears' that come with the Sasquatch package. They don't hold the rocks, they just fling them right up against your door and chip the paint.

You're not driving fast enough. Between 90-100 will get those suckers out!!

Typical for an open tread all-terrain tire. My BD is the same. Makes a lovely sound when you come off the gravel on to highway.

Yep, you got me! I have a short paved driveway and have to go a ways to find anything wild.
