Anyone Else Have Problems w/ Pebbles Stuck in Their Tires?

I've been driving on stocks for about 2 months and noticed that pebbles get stuck between threads really easily. This hasn't been a problem for cars I've driven before. What do you think?

That's sort of a non-issue.

Not saying this is necessarily a "problem" persay, just that the clicking sound of a stuck in your tire while in slow rotation is annoying. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same. I see people complaining about the stock tires all the time and haven't seen this raised.

Not a TSX problem, it is just the tread pattern on the stock Michelins any car with these tires would experience the same thing.

Oh, it's definitely an issue. If you don't remove them every few days, they will slowly embed themselves into the tire eventually causing a flat.

What I do is each weekend prop up each wheel, and go over each. I use needle-nose pliers to get them out. Only takes a few minutes, plus I have a hydraulic jack so it's really easy.

Great sarcasm! Well done.

I guess when you ask a stupid question you're gonna get a stupid answer sometimes.

Props for the good sense of self-humor.

Closing now.
