I guess I caught a break on my van. I had an already patched tire that later was determined unrepairable after losing air again. On the second event, Michelin, or Sam's Club, replaced the 4yo tire and gave me a 50% credit on the replacement because there was so much tread left. Technically, it was out of warranty due to age.
I can see the point about a patched tire though, because the cords could be damaged by a puncture, and that could leave any rating unknown.
