Default Tire reimbursement... I thought Michelin Pilot Alpin are winter tires... T or F?
I don't know why but I just got a check back from AoA for the tire reimbursement program and they only paid for two tires.

Some guy said that they checked and it showed that Michelin Pilot Alpins are considered All season tire. This is pretty bogus. I need to sort this out with AoA but I was curious if anyone had this problem.

thanks.

Default My brother just bought a pair for his 330. They are definitely winter tires and will
melt in anything above 40 degrees.

Default If they've got a snowflake in a mountain symbol on the sidewall (severe winter duty)
They're winter tires, NOT all season.
