Anybody take a look at Costco tire prices lately?

If so, how much, if they are selling, are the Bridgestone S-03 Pole Position tires cost?

I'm not sure, but if anyone is sure & wants to help you, then they might want to know what size SO3 you wanted.

That comes to $680ish. I paid $169 per tire for 215/45/R17s from Tire Rack and $80 for mounting at America's Tire Co. which included the lifetime balancing and rotation. It's just really hard for anyone to beat TireRack's prices, although many places will match them, especially independent shops.

Problem w/ Costco is that they might not put on larger tires than what comes standard w/ the car. It depends on which Costco you go to.

The coupon for Costco members is valid from 12-Jan-2004 to 01-Feb-2004. Costco's online pricing includes shipping, mounting, balancing, and used tire disposal fee. If ordered online, tires are shipped to Costco tire installation center near your location. This coupon is a good deal!

I should mention that I ordered two Goodrich tires from Costco.com and they screwed up on the shipping status of my order. Checking online, they indicated that my order had been cancelled, when in fact the tires had just arrived at my local Costco for installation. They sent me an apologetic reply.

Be sure to specify the tightening torque you want on your stock or non-stock wheels. Costco automatically spits out a work order with the incorrect lug nut torque for factory wheels. It said 90 ft lbs, when in fact it is 90 Newton-meters or about 65 to 66 ft lbs of torque! I corrected the service writer before the install, but double-checked after I got home - they seemed over-torqued by a bit so I re-did them all.
