Michelin @ Costco

[domsz4]

How good are the Michelin tyres Costco sell? Seem a pretty good price and they have some sort of offer if you buy two.

I would think it's Michelin Tyres!

Which Michelin Tyres though?
Cost?
Availability?
Fitted?

always used to buy from costco on old car wasnt until last year there prices couldnt match blackcircles

generally they keep common ones in stock but can order any michelin, and think they had a budget brand too.

price includes fitting and balancing and getting rid of old

i think they were pilot sport 3 (or 2??) about 120odd quid each but i cant honestly remember but they seemed a good price
fitting/balancing etc is part of the price. ]

as for availability ever been to a costco tyre place... ... the 3 6 foot high stacks of them would indicate that they were probably available lol ...... the biggest delay is likely to be getting a slot and if i trust them not to shag the alloys

and if you buy 2 you get a 30 quid off voucher which equates to many many hotdogs and a few bits of pizza

Always plan to buy from them but never need tyres when an offer is on and as posted above BC or in my case Oponeo have done better deals.

1 cool idea is you can buy 4 and get the highest discount, but just have 2 fitted and get the second pair when needed.

I have Michelin tyres on my Mazda 6,the last set did 39k.They take some beating for value ,replacement tyres were £ 88 each.

tyres seem really cheap at the moment, im sure i didnt pay £75 for the khumo ku39 last time i bought them....

just need to find somewhere near me i trust to fit them. the only reason i wondered about the Michelin was i thought they were the same price as i paid for the khumo last time.

 

[domsz4]

got to get some of these..... just for the name alone :evil: ............. should i wear protection when fitting!

Got my first set of SuperSports from them a few years back, but now, even with their discounts, they're just not competitive and they seem to be about £200 more expensive for 4 than I've found elsewhere.
