Default Dam new michelin rock throwers taking paint off

Anyone here noticing this ?
I can't be the only one driving unpaved roads some.
These new LTX AS 265 / 17Michelin's have no taper on the tread grooves,
they seem to be designed to pick up rocks and throw them off.
I put 200 K on my 98 with several sets of Wranglers, never heard so many rocks flying before.
2 month old truck, and very disappointed in this..
I'm putting 3/16 x 12 inch x 8 ft.plastic under the nurf bars wheel to wheel and mud flaps.
might look like Sheee, I'll post a pic.
You can't cover everyting.

Michelins are good tires, but I had to get rid of mine. Tore up the whole underside of my truck with rock chips. [:@]
