They actually do help a bit with rocks and shit being kicked up into the body. They don't seem like they would because they're pretty small but they help
And to keep on topic....I've been sick all weekend so haven't been on but yanked off the OEM Goodyear rubbers and replaced them with a set of 5 Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws. I have only driven from Discount Tire to my house which is less than 5 miles so no thoughts yet on performance. It really is kind of a shame, though, that this platform has essentially been out for 5 years now and there are only two offerings in the OEM size and speed rating. Everything else has a lower speed rating, which is pretty disappointing.
