I've always wondered why so many people ONLY buy Michelin, but I never cared enough to actually go and find out...
This is the kind of thing that can make someone like me a lifetime customer. Now I just need a Michelin tire that is comparable to Dunlop ZIIs |

You'd probably come out further ahead if you just sold the Primacy HPs (though I haven't looked into it). |

I got a question. My frs came with bridgestone. What if i bought another set of stock wheels with michelin tires and happen to drive to till the wear bar show. Will I be able to claim this?
Also how they they suppose to know that your tire wear out before 35k miles? |

first, the 2/32 measurement can be made with any tread depth gauge.
second, it is kinda scumbag steve, but yolo, take advantage of the warranty given to you. the burnout thing is kinda obvious to spot and most guys will not warranty based on misuse or customer neglect. lastly, we have no way of telling if your car came with bridgestone or Michelin. so if a set happens to find its way to your car, so be it. |

Make sure you drive "normally" for a few weeks, or a few thousand miles, after your said burnouts, lol (500-1k miles is prolly sufficient).... so the wear looks more rounded, even and like it's from daily driving use. Fresh burnouts are definitely easier to spot.

Thanks for answering my question
Here is the biggest question I have in mind. So the warranty only goes to under 35000 mi. Lets say my car has 25000 mi, and I happen to buy a new set of stock wheels with michelin. Then it wore out until my car's odometer is reading 40000 mi. (Meaning I wore them out with 15000 mi driven.) But will I still be able to claim because my odometer is reading 40000 mi. In fact Ive only drove 20000 mi with the set purchased. Sorry if i made this question too confusing. Quote:
