Plus I don't know about where you live, but here in Cali it's against the law, techically they can give you a fix it ticket, but I do see alot of duckheads with out them. Just remember something if you do take the rears off " what comes around goes around" Karma, etc...
those are some big gaps between the lugs and no siping in the lugs, if you're that close on a gravel road, might be a problem but unless they're dumping gravel on the paved roads, throwing rocks shouldnt be too much of a problem. I never find rocks wedged into my tires now (then again, maybe they clean too well) but when I ran AT's on my last truck and even the stockers on this one, there were always small pebbles jammed in the treads.

most trucks around here dont have mudflaps and I've never had a problem with them...the real problem is the rocks thrown by the sanding trucks in the winter (and not thrown by the tires, they have mudflaps installed)
