The downside to Costco is that the line on the weekends can get very long in you just walk up. Make sure to make an appointment in advance.

Michelins are better than those for sure. They're like Tide, actually better than all the competitors. Expensive but they will last. Even the oem ones that came on our SUV some years ago lasted 70K.

But it depends on the car. No need to put lipstick on a pig. If its a high mile car, get whatever.

You have to remember to go back for tire rotations every 12 months. If you forget, and then attempt to use the warranty to have them fix or replace a damaged tire, then will tell you that you’ve voided the warranty.

What if you have documentation of rotation from your mechanic?

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act would apply

I entered my car model, year etc. on their website and it said sorry can’t help you.

Hmm, Costco repaired my punctured tire last week for free, and we haven’t been back there yearly for tire rotations. Bought the tires there about 3 years ago.

Puncture is different from tread wear.

Yes it’s a great deal. You may have to order the tires you want if they are non-standard but they will ship them to the warehouse and then you schedule install. They often run sales.

I like how they do free tire rotations for the life of the tires.

Oh and I don’t know enough about types of tires and vehicles to answer which ones are available. But it looked like a huge selection when we were there.

The other thread got me thinking...Does Costco have good deals on tires? Can you get them for every vehicle, or just the more common vehicles?
