Correct.
They will. I have brought just the wheels in many times to various locations.
They will absolutely install their tires on any wheels you bring in provided the wheels are not cracked, etc. As above, I have brought just the wheels in many times to various locations.
Pricing is highly dependent on what tires you're buying. I am cheap AF and price shop everything down to the dollar. My wife's various sedans have had tires come from a variety of places based on the best prices. The latest set was the cheapest at Amazon, but I paid about $50 more to get them at Sam's for the road hazard. My truck tires, however, have been the cheapest at 1 of the 3 club stores every time for the last decade plus.
Pennsylvania roads have us blowing at least 1 tire on my wife's sedan every set. And then I actually blew 2 tires simultaneously on an NPS road in my truck. No issues getting Sam's or Costco to honor the road hazard warranty at any point. Neither has ever even asked for proof of rotation, etc. They have only asked for that in regards to treadwear warranty claims.
Corporate policy dictates that they can only install tires the same size with an equal/greater speed rating. If you want something that doesn't meet that criteria, then you can just bring the wheels in.
This is probably the most ignorant thing I will read all day. While marketing hype is just that, the ratings, treadwear patterns, construction, etc. are certainly not equal among all tires. If you're parking it when it snows and just making a 30mph trip to the supermarket after you get your McD's pancakes every morning like my dear old Pop did, pretty much any tire will suffice. That's not the case for most people though. You do you though. Darwin can't be everywhere at once.

I don't put a ton of miles on my vehicles. In fact, I'm surprised at how much the average person drives. Maybe they always have to be on the road and cruise around aimlessly, or commute 100 miles a day. So my tread life is less of a question for me vs. how old the tires are, as I'll be driving on tires well into the 6-10 year maximum life. As a result, the premature aging of the rubber when using compressed air is a concern for me, and in fact research backs this up. The moisture content that air compressors introduce breaks down and compromises the integrity of the rubber over time.
Point is if you plan on driving on tires for 6-10 years before the tread life becomes a major concern, pure nitrogen absolutely matters. It's not a question of "99% nitrogen vs standard 78% nitrogen air compressor" it's "99% N2 isn't introducing moisture like the 78% does."
In other words, the risk of tire failure is much lower when the rubber hasn't been subjected to internal moisture. You also have more stable air pressure, so you're driving at more optimal tire inflation vs not, also resulting in better treadlife/even wear.
But all you know is what you know. And if a tire fails due to brittle rubber because you bumped a curb, you just assume it was bumping the curb and don't consider the deterioration and aging of the rubber due to compressed air moisture. So you don't know any better. It's just something that happened because you bumped the curb.
I see your point, I usually get 3 to 5 years out of a set. Air compressors have a water separator and/or drain plugs on them.

Stick with Michelin or Continental; consistently the best brands. I just swapped out my Bridgestones for Michelin CrossClimate 2s at Costco with this promotion, and was very pleased to see my tires were manufactured the first week of June 2022. It's nice to know Costco has a strict buying policy where you won't end up with aged tires right off the bat. The last set of tires I did purchase weren't from Costco, but TireRack to the dealer. They were over 3 years old. That's my problem with getting tires elsewhere or price matching to go with TireRack or Discount Tires. The tires you end up with are complete gambles. They could be brand new, but more likely they've been sitting in a warehouse on the other side of the country and they're plucked from the first set a worker grabs and restocked as needed. No thanks. Costco actively refuses tires older than 24 months. Most places don't even care because most customers aren't aware.
Costco is very proactive, plus switching to straight N2 is great. Many people think it's a gimmick, getting caught up with the "the air is already 78% N2 anyway," which misses the point entirely. Normal air compressors introduce moisture into your tires and essentially rots them from the inside-out. You also have much greater swings in PSI owing to the higher moisture content inside the tire. As a result, your tires are sub-optimally inflated and require more maintenance and experience more premature wear.
Bottom line, moisture inside your tire isn't good so I don't even know why this is a debate. I think the whole "the air is 78% nitrogen" comeback is too much for people to get past. If I said we're also going to add water to your tires, any amount and you'd be insistent not to. Yet that's exactly what an air compressor is doing, so it's cognitive dissonance.
I'm choosing between "Michelin Defender 2" and "Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus".. I live in warm California, so snow/weather is not a concern.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Oh wow, do they have them there ? These sensors somehow have to be programmed to the car right ?

I'm not sure if the specific tire but I usually look at tread wear/traction/temperature ratings
My last set I went for 660/B/A and definitely feel the slip in traction vs A rated traction tires. Funny that these have an M+S rating but a "B" traction
$3?? they're charging me 45 a sensor and thats a good deal. Some places are over 70
OEM Size: 235/65R17
Size I want: 225/65R17 (winter tires)
Will be mounted on 17x7 wheels
I will be bringing the 4 wheels in (wheels currently not mounted on vehicle).
If they ask what vehicle these winter tires are for, should I:
A: tell the truth and hope they won't have an issue mounting tires that are smaller than OEM
B: lie and tell them it's for a vehicle (like a Honda CRV) that these tires are OEM sized for

It'll be back within the next quarter if history repeats itself.
Costco do sell TPMS sensors. When you have a malfunctioning TPMS sensor; if one malfunctions, they want to replace all 4. The thought process here is that if one fails then, most likely, the other are not far behind. The main reason that they fail is that the battery in the sensor is out of juice. TPMS sensors last between 5-8 years. The cost is between $25-80 each, depending on model of the TPMS; Costco may have to take the tire off the wheel to know which model of TPMS to give you an accurate quote.
I don't know of any place that will replace the battery in the TPMS sensor... it's possible, they just don't do it. Mostly due to labor costs plus profitability -- it's not worth it to the consumer vs new; in particular, in our first world disposable electronics mentality.
Won't really know until I have to cross a mountain pass here in the Pacific Northwest, probably next month.
Gas mileage is a touch better and the ride is noticeably quieter, so no real downsides as of yet.
