Some will argue but I hink Bushwacker makes the best flare. Stay away from Warn as Ive heard some bad things about them.

You can see the bushwacker flares here:

Re:315's are killing my paint!!

Just remember, it isn't really the tire size that determines rock chips, it's the tread pattern and how far they stick out. Tight tread patterns pick up rocks, and of course, the farther they stick out, the more chance there is for a hit from a rock being thrown.
Unfortunately, my 305/70's still pick up rocks like my 225's did.
You might try rock guard and maybe some mud flaps instead of flares.
Professional rock guard is sprayed on and then covered with the color of your truck. This tends to be pricy to apply. One former member here had good luck with a Rustoleum product used as rock guard. The only bad thing is limited colors. Here's the thread:
