| Description of the problem | Was leaving a lakefront beach on a dusty dirt road going very slow because of all the cars parked around on a one lane road leaving the beach. Had not gone more than 50 ft when all of a sudden it sounded like we ran over something that may have damaged the underneath. Stopped got out and looked behind me and 2-3 embedded rocks were in the road, not loose rocks, i do not know if any damage was caused as today is sunday and nothing is open. What is the distance from the bottom of the car to the ground? It has to be lower than all other cars as there are thousands of cars traveling over this area annually and if cars were hitting them i would assume they would have been removed? Also we had new tires installed the day before size p205r60-16. Were these proper size? |
