So I just put on some good tires (Dunlop SP9000) and right away I can hear rocks pelting the sides of my car on just about every street. Its a sign of a sticky tire right, but I'm kinda worried about getting a lot of chips... Do you guys find this problematic on your paint? Since some cars come out of the factory with tires like these I wonder how to we can keep the paint in tip top shape.

 

Just so you know, it'll do that for a little while especially if brand brand new. It'll slowly go away.

Drive around a bit, and it'll subside. Depending on how sticky the tire really is, it'll subside into nothing, or you'll have just a little.

 

Check the guys at autoXes running Hoosiers. They REALLY pick up pebbles.
