Am I missing something?
I believe those numbers are correct but not all tint does those numbers. The Color Stable 3M stuff goes from 5% to 20% to 35%, so to stay legal the max 3M CS tint is 20% from the back side windows/rear window and 35% for the front side windows.

Correct on the AS-1 line, it's worthless IMO to do front tint on this car because that's literally like 3"-4' from the top of the windshield. I thought about tinting the entire front window (illegal) in clear or 90% tint just for the heat rejection though.
