1.     Save money and worry over tires at MICHELIN! (www.michelinman.com/promise/ for the deal and to find local dealers that sell Michelin tires.)

Deal: Starting Tuesday, buy Michelin tires under their new three part warranty/guarantee plan, and you’ll get a 30-day exchange period to select another set of Michelin or alternative-brand tires at or below the original tires’ purchase price.

A technician would help a customer change to a spare or provide a tow to a Michelin dealer within 150 miles of the breakdown.
