Costco tyre promotion (Michelin only)

Post by TopBear » Sun Jan 14, 2007 11:51 pm

Just an advisory for Costco members, that they are running a promotion for a month starting next weekend, discounting the cost of 4 tyres by 20%

I bought a 255/35/18 PS2 today for ~£185 to replace a knackered spare, and am going in next weekend to replace all 4 on the car from Toyo's, to PS2's for ~£590

Four PS2's for £590, that is seriously cheap. I had a quote last week from ATS for 5 PS2's of ~£1100, but as I was going to purchase 5 reduced to £840.

The quote for £590, I take it that's from Costco again?

Sound, am due to change tyres on the Mrs's car. Cheers as they were cheapest anyway so now almost a bargain.

Cheers.

Who/what are these Cost Co people? I've never heard of them before, but they sound like a discount warehouse place....Do they fit the tyres?

Err no it is not that cheap. I just replaced all 4 of my PS2s for just under 600 quid. That's only a few quid more than I paid 2 years ago. It is more a question that anyone charging more is ripping customers off.

Dippy, a 255/35 is going to be more than a 225 or 235 you are likely to be running on your S4...

Dave your correct. They are a Cash & Carry or wholesaler, whichever you prefer.

Costco info http://www.costco.co.uk/what_is_costco/ ... costco.htm

Tyre fitting service http://www.costco.co.uk/Depts&Servs_mai ... centre.htm

They only sell Michelin tyres, and as they buy in bulk, can sell at a lower price.

I have priced tyres for our VW and the Michelins are 1/3rd cheaper at Costco that the best price the usual suspects can offer after mucho ringing around. You'll see me at Costco Derby at the weekend!
