Gravel roads, trailhead access etc

Any intrepid owners doing any light off-roading? How are your wheels and tyres/tires holding up? We’re looking to buy a property a good distance down a gravel/unpaved road and we’re infinitesimally concerned about the longevity of the rubber and rims.

I would worry more about getting paint chips on your car than the tires or rims. I would strongly recommend you get PPF on the lower sides, front and rear and even look at mudflaps. You can also pick up some rim guards if you don’t mind the look (lots of choices out there)
