Can anyone find the list of dealers the T&C refers to? I'm trying to find out if blackcircles are included on the list.
So I spoke to Michelin online about which tyre dealers are part of the promotion. The advisor said she didn't know but would find out and email me. She did email me and this is what it said:
'At the moment only Costco participates in fuel voucher promotion. Please check with them if you can still purchase tyres and claim a voucher because it is possible that the purchase window for the promotion is closed already.'
That's strange seeing as Camskill are definitely doing the promotion!

My MP4S's arrived yesterday 
Oz's getting a polish now, hoping to get the tyres on them Monday and swap wheels over too time permitting

Had two Pilot Sport 4s fitted today. Done next to no miles on them so far because I've only had to drive about 1 mile from the garage. They look alright on the old MV2s and the rim protector looks OK, but perhaps not as good as on those on the GY AS2s so I'll have to keep that in mind although I'd like to think I'm careful enough to not need the rim protection anyway.
Might be able to wear out the AS2s on the back by September, will have to see. Next up is a wheel alignment (no laser alignment where the tyres were fitted).

I took my wheel off to clean it on Saturday and was greeted by this. I think this happened on Tuesday as I heard some flapping when I had a spirited run on to the interstate but could only see some trim hanging off under the car so assumed it was that. I've had the car for a month and am 2 days out of the 30 day warranty but took it in anyway as it's been caused by something wrong with the car when they sold it to me. I even took it in for a health check the Thursday before and they didn't notice.
This tyre has always been around 2psi lower than the others but I always had a message saying the pressures were fine and they were always around the recommended pressures.
I'm going to take them the other front tyre today to have a look at.
They're Pirelli P-Zeros so I'll be out over $400 if the garage won't replace them under warranty. Tempted to switch to Michelins but I can't really afford to drop ~$1500 on a full set.

I figured it'd be something like that.
The manager said they don't usually cover tyres but as this clearly wasn't caused by something I've driven over they may cover it, and there's the fact that it's likely been caused by something that they apparently check before it goes on the lot.
Soldato
They just called and they're going to replace both front tyres free of charge. He also said it doesn't need the alignment looking at but I'm going to take it somewhere to get it looked at anyway.
Soldato
Looks like it's been rubbing against some bodywork or something?
Soldato
is the deal still live? Can't find anything about it now! Costco are the joint cheapest for PS4 for me and convenient so will use them either way.

found it :

though it's only showing ATS now who are horrifically expensive.

My dad's 5 GT ended up with tyres like that not that long after he bought it 2nd hand from BMW. 1st owner: BMW HQ in Munich.What the heck could cause that
**** happens I guess. As it's on the inside, it's hard to spot on certain cars I guess as it was only spotted when it went in for service
Soldato
They said that there's a chance that the previous owner ran it at too low pressures. A mechanic friend of mine also said the same thing when he saw it.What the heck could cause that
Soldato
That looks like a very "defined" edge, not the usual smooth wear down to the cords you'd usually expect with poor alignment
Soldato
This is exactly what I thought. Normally it'd be poor alignment which would cause something like this, but the wear is too "sharp" for just alignment. Maybe quite severe over inflation coupled with really bad toe settings
