Tires and window tint

Any suggestions out there on which all season 20" tires would be the best? I'm heavily leaning toward Michelin. Also, has anyone ever had the front driver side and passenger side windows tinted? They do sort of stand out, considering how dark the other windows (except windshield, of course) are.

I tinted front windows light and it flows much better with back tint then not having any tint on front windows IMHO.. I'd say go for a light tint - makes truck look even cooler...

I too had the front drivers and passenger windows tinted and I think it looks great. I had the MB dealership do it - The tint is a 35% level tint, whatever that means. The tint does not match perfectly and is still a little lighter than the rest of the windows, but it still looks really good.

Just make sure front window tint is legal in your state (illegal in California). I put it on my 1992 Accord and when I got pulled over for speeding about 6 weeks after putting the window tint on, I had to have it removed.
