Default Pot Hole Patch

Pothole Patch!! My 16' C7 sounds as if I have just driven through a bunch
of it all the time. It annoys the heck out of me and I'm not sure how to resolve this issue do any of you know? Yes, it has the terrible summer only run-flats but I also don't know about this new wheel well liners either. Any solutions that will help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't understand. Are you saying the roads you drive on have lots of small rocks on them? Drive on different roads maybe?

Maybe I did not explain very well. I'm saying, that everything that is thrown up from the road seems to be magnified to where it is really annoying me. Therefore, I don't know if this is a result of harder tires picking up more debris or the new wheel well material raising the sound level. I did not experience this before with C5 or C6 and both had run-flats also.

My friend, welcome to the side effect of a very sticky tire grabbing at things that didn't get grabbed before. I feel like I have sand blasters being towed all around me when I drive. Lots of posts will tell you how you can buffer and protect your paint....
