Yes they are sticky! Yes they will fling crap. I've got the 555R2's up front and the 555R's out back(Worse as it can get) and live in the midwest so you know where I'm going with this. As far as doing stuff to your paint I haven't experienced that. Only on the inner part of the fenders where most of the grime is anyways you can tell they are somewhat faded assuming from the rocks and debris, but thats bound to happen to any tire.

They won't put big big scratces on your fenders. At the most they will just take the paint off the bottom leading edge of the fenders/rear bumper cover. Really no need to worry though, it's not that noticable, and the front fenders and rear bumper cover are plastic so nothing is going to rust. I figure it's a small price to pay for traction. I wish my car wasn't in storage, I would take some up close pics to show you what I'm talking about. :)

Yes, they will fling stuff...With 9.5" wheels it won't be too bad, but like the 11" and 315s I have on the T/A, holy cow...:D
