Well folks, I have some good news to report. Situation: I had a puncture and am trying to take advantage of the Michelin warranty for the OEM RTFs.

Michelin went along with the tire shop's assessment to replace the tire. So, the shop went ahead and replaced the tire. Now, there could still be a glitch in this. As they say, it ain't over until the fat lady sings. The tire shop will submit their claim on Monday and we'll see how much Michelin will cover. Once the bill is settled, I will update the post with more details.
