There is a skidplate under the car and this protects against impact from rocks, vegetation etc. There is also additional tow hook added up front to help assist with pulling etc, if needed (eg sand dunes). I think flat tires are always possible, remember, lots of gravel roads with rough rocks etc. One car had a flat tire in our group due to a puncture from a rock -- technically the BMW guys will do the tire change but everyone in our group pitched in and wanted to help out so it only was a quick stop.
