I wonder if thats an airflow effect, or if the stuff from the front wheels just gets kicked up and slightly out, so it doesn't hit the back of the door but starts to hit again where the rear fenders flare out...

I assume that air billowing out of the wheel wells (or something) must have something to do with it, since it would be hard for stuff thrown up by the tyre to hit the area near the fake fender vent, since the fenders flair way out over the top / backs of the wheel?

Here is my winterization. Hahaha. I'm riding on my stock wheels and tires; I don't have any others.

They weren't doing any plowing in my neighborhood, and I got myself stuck in the middle of my street, till I thought up this solution. Good thing, my brother didn't have any use for a whole boat load of paver's stones.

It helped immensely though. I didn't have much trouble getting through a few inches of soft, slushy snow sitting on a sheet of ice left over from the prior snow storm, earlier that week. I loaded it up with as many as I could fit.

If I had to guess, they probably weighed at least 30lbs each. In all, there were probably ~25 of them in there: they can't all be seen because of the shadows, but there are 5 rows, and 2 columns, of 2 blocks each, with another 4 or so laying on top. So, roughly 750lbs! If I get a chance, I'll do a more precise calculation, sometime.

They didn't shift around at all, and I had forgotten they were in there, and tried to take a few turns hard. Also, I had cardboard underneath, along with the towels for a little protection from scraping.

Damn, if only I didn't have to lug them all halfway down the street (to where I had gotten my car stuck) to begin with. It was much easier unloading them.

This was definitely the way to go though!
