Stones, Pebbles on Tire Treads

Do you remove these small stones, pebbles and what nots on your tire treads?

Will letting these be damage the tires?

Highspeed runs will eject those pebbles

personally,
not as a matter of conscientious habit.
but i do it from time to time, to while away the time and nothing more.

no, these pebbles do not generally damage the tyres.
they do not stay there for long, as they are quickly thrown out by centrifugal force.
only rarely do these stones cause harm to the tyres..., i.e., when they are strategically shaped and are large and sharp enough... in which case we probably will not be able to dislodge them before they do damage our tyres.

Depending on my mood, I might use my keys to remove them if I see them as I walk by or while checking the pressure. There's really no need to do it but I can be a little OC at times.

Bought this a long time ago sa shoppee. Haven't use it once.

Hindi ba lalong mabaon ito sa gulong pag ganito and compromise the wear and tear of the tire?

if that were true,
dapat ay parami nang parami ang mga maliliit na batong naka-baon sa tyre treads natin...

True. Although new stones/pebbles may replace the ones thrown off but the wear and tear on the tread remains and continues

online literature agrees with you.
but i have not personally felt this... deleterious effect of peebles-on-tyres.
have you or anyone here experienced such?
