I was planning on 35% for the tint, so looks like that is OK in Colorado.

Thanks again, and see ya out there on the road- I cannot WAIT to get to Colorado !!!

Make sure you get ceramic tint to, just incase you were not aware. It has much better heat reducing ability. 3M has some "nano-tech" tint that is supposed to be rather good too.

I have Dunlop Winter Sport m3's and they are pretty darn good. Enjoy CO and the beautiful drives that it will offer you.

You might want to take a performance driving class that works on a wet skid pad and things like that to help with the winter driving too.
