One single fist size rock exploded a new 235-85x16" Cooper tire on a friend's ALMOST EMPTY BED pickup. I advised him to deflate. He laughed. A new boot "camisa" had to be installed in a llantera in Guerrero Negro. Voiding any potential future warranty claim. Screwed is the word. If he had not had repaired that tire as a spare, onto the bus at Guerrero Negro I would have went.
Last eye-ball to rock view I got in February, there were lots of them in a 20 KM (unfinished) stretch just east of the old Rancho Chapala. Reports are no road work is in progress as of last week.
For friend's tires I recommended 20 psi and 20 mph. This was so stupid, he may return to Mexico, but I will find myself "somewhere else" during his visit.
Five is the preferred route. Take your time going past Mexicali. Lots of maquinas agricolas (tractors and implements) on the road, plus legions of converted school buses hauling laborers to work.
Tecate shouldn't enter the picture.
For legal sake, anything south of San Felipe requires a paid FMM tourist card. Last I heard. Gasoline at Puertecitos and at Alfonsina's. Next gasolinera is at the monumento with Baja California Sur.
