I had a set of KDWS from costco last year when they had a coupon for $60 off (i think). Took about 3-4 days for the tires to be delivered to Foster City. Only complaint about Costco is they have a ton of work EVERY day, and routinely takes about 3-4 hours even for just a rebalance. I can kill a lot of time at Costco, but not that much time.

Are you kidding me? I hope they pay the workers extremely well if a routine rebalance takes that long because they must be working their butts off the entire time they're working (or maybe not working at all which causes the long lines .)

you might be bringing in your car for a rebalance which of course does not take that long, but dont forget the possibly other 15-20 cars ahead of you that need to be brought in

That's exactly the case. They DO work extremely hard at costco, and are always busy even mid-week. I don't mean to sound like they are slackers or slow workers at costco, but just the opposite I've never had them mount my tires backwards like at another tire place I've used before. And they don't spray my tires with that black-magic crap that makes it shiny.

Which is why I hope they pay you guys a lot better than they did while I was working at America's Tire Co.
