Secret $60 Michelin Tire Rebate - Up to $190 discount off 4 tires purchased before May 31st (YMMV)

Interesting. I need new tires as well, they're for an SUV, wonder if this'll work. I'll check it out, and thanks for the heads up!

Most tire dealer will price match each other's best price - so if you call Costco and get a quote for their best price (you don't need to tell them *your* membership number or anything for basic price info), or just go to their website and print out their prices. Take this info to another dealer (who is participating in the Spring Promo Rebate, for example) and haggle over their "higher" price - they WILL deal if the tires are the same ones. Pay the "discounted" price and then print your own rebate form to submit after the fact.

If the competitor you pick says "we already have a rebate deal with Michelin,so we won't lower our price, go to a different competitor who is not participating in the Spring Promo Rebate (let's say Sears) and get them to price match the tires. Then call & request the Friends of Michelin Form on your own and send it in.

Either way, you should be able to get at least $130 in discounts combining two of the three currently available "offers" practically guaranteed...just make some phone calls and do a little legwork.

I got Michelin LTX M/S 165/70R16's (check out the reviews at tirerack.com) for my truck - my local shop originally wanted $189 each but came down to $171 each installed with road hazard coverage when I told them about Costco's price of $168.

BEFORE rebates, my shop was $736 w/tax, Costco would have been $705 w/tax and Sears wanted $878 w/tax for the same set/options...the extra $21 is worth supporting my local shop over the Big Boys.

Not so much secret anymore Just got some Pirellis though, good deal

No costco in all of East TN Anyhow, great deal for those who can get it to work.

awesome deal,

my last set of tires I got from discount tire, I bought the tires on the last day of an old rebate and the first day of the new rebate and got them to match the online price of their website for the tires

I ended up saving nearly the cost of a tire ($175/tire) with the 2 rebates and discounted price on the tires
And the discount online price was already nearly 100 cheaper (per 4 tires) than anyone else
they were BFG KDW 275/40/17, by the way

too bad I already bought some new tires when cashback was 30% (BFG KD 275/40/17) or this is pretty tempting especially since its michelins. Hello Pilot Sport 2 !!!

Thank You! I bought my tires back in March so I couldn't get the "Michelin Spring Rebate" promo but if I can get the first one, I'll be happy.

Thanks again OP!

CartmanLikesPie, THANK YOU.

Here's a tire tip to keep in mind. There are 3 components to a tire purchase - the price of the tire itself, mounting, and balancing. If a dealer can't/won't work with you on the tire price, try to get them to discount or toss in the mounting and balancing. Oh, sometimes they charge for new stems too.

There are several kinds of balancing, just to complicate things evern further, try to get the dynamic kind. And see if you can get them to throw in free rotations every 5K miles as well.

Yeah, I've driven this road a few times ...........

Just about to buy some new SUV tires from Costco. The Spring Rebate does appear to be stackable with the Costco deal. Repped.

Need new tires but light truck won't cut it. Oh well.
