I remember reading something about tire tracks or tire marks...

in the rules but now I can't find it.  I swear I read something about tire marks being ground under repair.  Anyone have a reference?

Erik's quote gives some good guidance but it is good to remember that a rut or a tire mark is never automatically GUR . The Committee may mark them as such or give a local rule to declare all those as GUR (not always recommended as it is difficult to make judgements on the course). In a competition a player may always ask a referee/committee member to make a ruling or invoke R 3-3 and play a second ball and get a ruling after the round before returning the score card.
