Good price, and I am a Costco fan but the waiting time for tire service at Costco can be long. Remember that you have to go back for periodic rotations, and the time adds up. PM Costco at a tire store and get faster service.

I just had Discount Tire price match a set of Cross Climate 2's. It came out cheaper at Discount Tire. The out the door price was I had added to the cart, before any taxes even applied. I also used this a few months back for the BFGoodrich deal, same deal with matching the cart price. This included labor, taxes and all other fee's which saved another $100 or 2.

This is normal promo for Michelin tires at Costco. Taking a look at the prices just now and they've gotten more expensive...dang inflation!

Expect to wait an entire day for your tires to be installed, Costco tire installation is the slowest. 🤣
Maybe it depends on the location?

Ours is decently quick. The last 2 times I had them put Defenders on our van and CR-V, it was less than 1.5hrs each time and that's with the appointment website.

I got the MICHELIN DEFENDER LTX from Costco for my truck and my SUV and they're both absolute SHIT. I had to replace my truck tires after 30K miles and for my SUV after 35K. They wear like shit despite balance and rotation every 5K. And very very noisy. And service at Costco is absolute SHIT as well.

2.5 on the review rate https://www.loc8nearme.com/texas/...co/621547/

I went back to Discount Tire and switch back to BFG KO2's on both my truck and SUV. They had $200 off for Labor Day. These KO2 absolutely ROCK
You definitely did not have a normal experience. There's loads of people getting 75k+ out of Defenders. Sometimes, often dry-rotting out before the tread wears out.

I have the same question. No one seems to address it. Dont understand the love for Discount Tire. It took 1.5 hours the last time I had my tires installed at Costco. Not the end of the world.

Collecting a few notes from prior threads:
(1) Costco has a 5-yr road hazard
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=156044974&postcount=34

Is this still accurate?

(2) "but you should beware of their new warranty replacement policy. If they have to replace a tire, you get a credit for what you paid for (discounted price, let's say 140) but calculating what u need to pay, the price they use is the current price(180). Since current price for 1 tire is never discounted, u will end up paying the difference ($40)in a warranty repair. On top of it they charge a installation fee. I recently had to pay $65 on a $170 tire warranty replacement 4 months after I bought them at Costco."
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=149765878&postcount=25

Can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

(3) Road hazard only gives you protection for just the tire that goes bad. As many people are looking at the CC2s for SUVs with AWD, note that even if you have road hazard, you still have to replace the rest of your tires at the same time at your own cost (unless they are barely worn) to not damage your tranny. I don't know how Discount Tires road hazard works, but I bet its the same. So I think this is not really anything that is better or worse between different tire shops. Its just a reminder.

I'll just say for that last point, every tire shop I've dealt with has the same policy - bad tire ONLY. Frankly it would jack up prices a lot if for every 1 tire that goes bad they have to replace 4.

I've never had tires done at Costco, usually BJ's, Town Fair (New England) are my go-tos, previously I've also used Sears, as well as purchased tires online with an independent install. While you can save money buying online, if you can find a store that will install them (some won't because you didn't buy them there), they usually will also rape you on fees and whatnot that are "included" if you buy tires with them. I think the last time I did that I figured I saved less than 5-6% on the whole deal, and that doesn't include the PITA of having tires shipped to my house and hauling them around.

Wow, my dealership was HUNDREDS more. I literally LOL'd at their price, and my service rep was all grins.
Ouch. The local GM dealer here advertises tires $1 over cost. Now, that could mean a lot of things though but on Defender LTX for my truck, they are +/- $10 of Costco. Plus they're a 5min drive in town vs. an hour to Costco....hmm...

I've been told by Costco they will only install tires that match oem sizes.
The tires have to be the correct size for the vehicle. The post I responded to stated that Costco was trying to upsell to a more expensive tire. I've never had that happen or seen it happen while purchasing tires there.

Lots of anecdotes but how are the LTX? They also happen to be the most expensive tire for my SUV (not by much, like $20/tire), but also the highest reviewed on Tire Rack.

Fantastic. Virtually everyone loves them on review sites, forums, etc. A slightly cheaper option to look at is the Continental TerrainContact H/T. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/co...ontact-h-t

It's a Defender copycat, usually about $25-60/tire cheaper than Defenders. I'm really honestly thinking about going with them instead of the Defenders on my Silverado 2500. I can get the Conti's for about $275/tire whereas the Defenders are anywhere from like $297-$335/tire in the Load E range. And depending on size, almost all of them are made in the US, if that matters.

Consider yourself lucky. I'm dealing with uneven wear on our Volvo XC90 right now, which may force me to get new tires sooner than I should.

I want a rotation and alignment deal; do people really get tires re-balanced?
Quote from lee38jx :
No, most people do not get wheels rebalanced after they get new tires. Costco also doesn't do alignments.
It's really a function of how many pot holes in a 10-miles radius from where you live.
Given density high enough, no alignment can possibly hold, hence the per new tire => need alignment can be true. Even faster if bad enough and for those who ram through pot holes!

Yes, pot holes will eventually put you out of alignment. However, rebalancing is more an issue of going through tire tread and perhaps starting off with a meh balancing.

Usually it doesn't matter (i.e. at high speeds there is no steering wheel shake). As far as I can tell by your comment, there are no issues with my original comment.

I guess. But what Costco isn't packed from opening to closing? The two Costcos closest to my address have the slowest tire shop workers.

I'm really thinking about just having Walmart put the Crosswind 4X4 HP 245/60R18 Tires on my SUV, seems like saving quite a bit of money ($102 per tire plus some install) for decent tires for the price in comparison to the Michelin prices at Costco.

Had a very disappointing after sales experience at Costco recently on these Michelin tires. My colleague took Michelin tires 3 years ago and they were supposed to be running 60K miles as per the warranty. Then after an year of purchase he had wheel alignment too. He did rotate the tires outside few times it seems which he couldn't get record. Those tires lasted only 27k or so. When we went to Costco Mettawa and since he couldn't show much records of tire rotation they refused to honor the warranty. Even that wheel alignment they expected to happen with in an year. When he called Michelin they agreed to refund based on the usage but asked to come through the dealer we purchased and we didn't get much help from Costco on that though. Finally after few follow ups my colleague gave up on this and went for Michelin Cross Climate tires from another Costco store. I didn't expect this kind of service from Costco. Please be aware they expect Wheel alignment within an year of purchase and rotations to happen each 8K miles once to honor the warranty.

I mean, ours isn't "packed" like nut to butt 24/7 but it stays busy. The last time we were there, self checkout had like 200 people waiting but there were 10 cashiers in the regular lines, half standing around waiting.

Our rotations are every 6k miles.

On two cars? This is not a coincidence. With cars had the defenders and they both sucked.
