Tint, 55% on everything except windshield. It looks lighter in person.

It was actually really easy. I have about 11k and the tires were down to 2/32nds and 4/32nds f/r so I called the Michelin warranty number (1 866 866 6605) and told them the situation, they opened a claim, and I had the tires inspected at an NTB right by my house.

They did ask about abuse which I told them about the drag strip, mountain cruising, and the occasional spirited driving and they still fulfilled the warranty. 71% of for the fronts and 60% for the rears which were pro-rated to 14k miles.

Get the discount if you can. I will keep buying Michelin if they keep honoring warranties. It's too good to pass up.

So how much money did that end up knocking off of each tire? If I have to do all of that for $10/tire discount then I really don't give a fuck. If they give me $75 - $100 off then we're talking!

Paid $348 out the door down from just over $800 from the original quote, so around $500 saved. Plus the tires have 30k treadlife (or something close to that) warranty as well.

Spent the night starting to prep some trim panels for a carbon fiber skin. I'm intending to skin all of the scratchy black plastic interior panels with carbon fiber.
