Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 Damage to Rocker Panels/Lower Door Areas
Has anybody experienced road rash along the rocker panels and lower door areas with their winter set-ups? I had significant pitting last winter with my Tire Rack winter package -- MSW Type 48 rims, Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 275/45 R20s -- some of which penetrated the clear coat. The damage occurred when driving on sand/gravel treated roads with the sipes apparently shooting sand/gravel toward the rocker panel/lower door areas. As of 10/2/19, BMW still has no mud flaps available. Outreach to BMW customer service was a waste of time. Only option seems to be installing paint protection film to prevent more damage this winter. Has anybody else had this problem with their winter set-up?
Appreciate any advice and thanks in advance.
Mike
