110 off is only for CrossClimate. 70 off for any other tire. Best deal of late seems to be 150 off total (tire + install). If you have a BJs membership, you can compare monthly deals. They (BJs) had 150 off that just ended on Sept 7.

??? It says "save $110 on any set of 4; save $150 on set of 4 CrossClimate2". I do see $110 on Pilot Sport A/S 3+.
Oh well, just replaced those with Conti Extreme DWS 06 on Friday through a good local tire shop for slightly less, we'll see how they compare in winter. I haven't tried Costco but had pretty bad experience at a BJs before (took them 2 hours, balancing machine did not work but they still mounted them and had to come back to balance properly, then another time on a rotation the guy did not know how to drive stick).
Never had Costco tire service before. Anyone know if they can mount just the tire on wheels and balancing it? No mounting on car. Also how is the warranty comparing to Tirerack 2 years?

Why Costco?
Our tire installation includes rotation, balancing, nitrogen tire inflation and more. It also includes a warranty for mileage, road hazard and manufacturer's defects.
I haven't had a problem so far (Knock on wood). Also, I like that I can just go in and get my tires rotated for free.

Costco warranty is as good as it gets IMO. It's mileage-based and repairs, rotations, nitrogen fill, and balancing are free for life. If a tire is not repairable, they measure tread depth and pro-rate the refund/cost of replacement. Can't beat it.
I do a lot of traveling, so it's important for me to have a national dealer in case of repair. Never had any issues whenever visiting for a repair or rotation/balance, but YMMV from store to store - all should offer appointments now, and I just finish my grocery shopping while my car is in the bay. Usually takes no more than 45 mins - 1 hr.

Yes. I did exactly that last time. Just tell them to not mount on the car.
I like costco overall, but i find their tire center service lacking.
A few years back, they overtorqued my lug nuts to hell after a rotation. I ended up getting a flat and tried to replace the wheel on the side of the road. 2 of the wheel bolts snapped off when i was trying to remove the lug nuts with a tire iron. Told costco about it and they would not take any responsibility for repairs. Said they torque to spec and i had no proof otherwise. Had to take it to sears to replace the bolts and told myself I wouldn't buy from costco again.
I still buy tires from costco because i find they're often the cheapest, but now i always loosen and retorque the lug nuts immediately after they touch my wheels.
