Re: Gravels in the tire tread? Do you remove?
I remove the gravel from the tires'
treads of all of my vehicles...(whether
they happen to be trucks, or not)...
whenever I'm going to detail them.

Re: Gravels in the tire tread? Do you remove?
It is a good idea to get rid of stones stuck between the treads, but I wouldn't go crazy with it. However some tires can suffer from something called stone drilling where a stone will work its way through the tread plys. This can result in a tire that is not able to be repaired safely.
A quick visual inspection is really all that is needed to check for something that may actually be damaging the tire.

Old Paramedic tool works perfect for this. It's called a kelly clamp. We used them back in the day to clamp down IV's or clamp umbilical cords from newborns.
Forget tweezers, once these latch on, nothing can survive lol
