I just tinted my entire truck 20% all the way around, I'm in new Orleans and they pretty laid back on the tiny, but it does give them a reason to pull you over

here in nc 35% is the lowest you can on on front. In my town everyone has 5% all the way around and it's pretty laid back here too.

Up here in BC, Canada, I can only tint my rear window, as I have a single cab and only the top 3" of my windshield. Side windows remain un-tinted.

I was gonna say those tires look really small. But I live in Tennessee and I've got 20% on my single cab and haven't had any problems. On the 99 f150 I had I had the same and never got in trouble for it.

I run 5% on the back window and vents, 20% on the sides and it works great. NEver get asked about it, but if your areas are strict, 20% all around is still pretty noticeable.

The limit in Florida is 28% on the sides and 15% on the back, and when I'm driving with someone behind me, they can't look in my back window or see a stop light through the tint

My friend in a mustang passed a cop going the opposite way, the cop turned around, pulled him over, and started complaining about his window tint. Something like 20%. His tint meter was broken so my bud got away with it. Lol. The only reason i wouldnt tint my windows on my truck is cause i might be trying to get a trailer around a parking lot or wheeling around at night and would have trouble seeing.
