P-Zero Tire Gripe!!

So, I just switched back to a new set of P-Zeros after having spent the winter on some nice All Seasons.

And, in the 5 days since I've switched, I've spent 4 of those days listening to the click-click-click-click-click of a rock wedged in the tread.

Day one, I got a pebble stuck in the left front tire and was able to remove it, but day three I got one in the right front and haven't found the pebble yet.

It probably won't matter if I remove it because I'll just get another.

Thus my gripe - these P-Zeros have been notorious for picking up pebbles in the tread.

Found them after lunch. Three in the right rear, one in the right.

I didn't even look on the rear yesterday when I checked, because it sounded like they were in the front tire. And I just spot checked the tread that was showing on top, not a thorough sweep of the whole tire

I expect my clean, quiet tires will last about a day, then start bugging me again like an earworm!!!
