OT (slightly) Michelins at costco extra cheap

Far cheaper from TyreShopper - who send them to your local National Tyres for fitting. Prices include VAT, valves, balancing, fitting etc. CostCo prices are higher, then there is fitting, old tyre disposal, valve and cap and balancing costs, all with VAT added on top. My local tyre fitter is cheaper than CostCo, most places are, even if you forget the £30 annual membership fee. Without posting specific details you are being VERy misleading and most sensible people know that.

Costco list IIRC 864 different tyre sizes, they keep about 150 different ones in their depots, the odd ones are got to order. Obviously I have not got a price for all variants available to put in an email, plus that would be boring to read.

costco only sell michelin, their normal price is very low, there is now an extra 20 per cent off. their prices include valve, balance, old tyre disposal, nitrogen filling, correct fitting and properly torqued up nuts. all fitted by michelin trained staff rather than the odd monkeys you get in most tyre tyre shops.

there is no misleading intended in my post, nor would most readers assume there is.

if anyone wants to know a precise price for a particular size then let me know and I'll check.

If you were to join just to buy your set of tyres then you could go back to customer services and get your membership refunded. So there would be no extra cost involved.

I know probably about a hundred people with costco membership, all are very happy with their service.

I have just checked tyre shopper for the only size of tyre I bought last month, a couple of 195/60h15 michelin energy savers, from tyre shopper they are 82 pounds each, the bill from costco was 147 making costco nearly ten pounds per tyre cheaper, remind me again who is cheap on tyres?

With the 20 percent promotion that would make the identical tyres, fitted while you shop at costco 236 all included or 328 from tyre shopper and you would have to go to some out of the way tyre place and hang about.

My conclusion from all this is that you have no idea what you are talking about.

Can you give contact details of your local places so we can check for ourselves? Because my experience says you're wrong.

+AD4- My conclusion from all this is that you have no idea what you are talking +AD4- about.

S'about right.

You're replying to +ACI-Roger+ACI- btw Mr Cheerful, he's a c*ck....

TyreShopper - eyepopping prices for my Mazda3.

Rob

in a bad way?

er yep - cheapest £175 a tyre! Mind you, Kwikfit is £145 for the same - although when I last had a proper look £110 springs to mind.

No, it's worse than that - he's a bell-end

I'd have saved 10 quid if I'd known about them a fortnight ago. Best price I'd found for a pair of Uniroyals for my Rover were from National Tyres online, surprisingly beating Black Circles, etc by a wide margin.

Absolutely correct. "Roger" is a troll who specialises in posting misleading and downright wrong information. He morphs frequently, so watch out for that. Generally known as the Tiscali Idiot.

He seems to have a particular dislike for people who do know what they are on about. I'm sure it's just penis envy.

I'll bet that is the same poster that told me that a mondeo coil pack did not consist of two double ended coils built into one lump. I thought the posting style seemed familiar.

The trouble is that some people might assume he had a valid POV.

That is why it is our duty to abuse him at every opportunity and make sure others know his POV is not valid..
