10,000 mile service coming up - front tires need to be replaced need advice!

2020 GLC 63 coupe here.
first 10,000 mile service is coming up and my two front tires need to be replaced - (FRONT TIRES WORN TO 1MM ON INSIDE SHOULDERS.)

I have wheel and tire protection that has been handy (used 2 times already on rear tires)

I don’t want to pay for the two front tires to be replaced (it’s 840$ cost) -

any advice on how I can utilize my coverage to get this done? I have another 1,000 miles to run off still.

I will be sending my rims in to be polished and any scuffs will be fixed too.

just need to figure out the tires... thoughts?

My summer tires only last 16000km... My summer on c63 last for 40000km. I think they're the same kind of tires, so I think you need to find different brand of tires to last longer.

are others seeing this kind of wear on their summer tires? I will be taking mine off here for the winter, but they are passing the eye test so far....

Very common on this platform due to alignment settings from factory.

Tire and wheel protection usually will not cover a tire that has worn below the minimum, and they require pictures of the tread across the tire to do the claim, so unless your advisor is willing to commit fraud to get the claim done, there isn't much you can do about it. Even putting a nail in the tire yourself, it's too worn to claim.
