I went to Costco today before seeing your post and the Tire shop guy told me that there are no promotions and wanted me to check back after two weeks.

I need to replace my 235/65/17 tires and each Michelin tires cost $249 + installation + tax :cry:

I think in June Michelin was giving a $70 off 4 tires rebate

Do they have winter tires now? This is my first time buying tires. Will there be sales on winter tires near the winter?

if you can, shopping across the border saves you much more.

Read this thread about ordering tires from JCWhitney. Shipping is reasonable and prices are terrific. No duty at the door.

Highly recommended!

Tirerack prices look great until they tack the ridiculous shipping on. 1010tires I found to be expensive.

So the safety kit comes in handy when your car flips over from the bridgestone tires

Hi there,

Can you confirm that the $70 off starts on Aug 19th and not Aug 29th?

I purchased my tires last month and they would fall in the 30 day price protection if this offer starts from Aug 19th.

Thanks.

Not always. It is very brand and size specific.

Example Michelin - LTX A/T2 size P235/65R17

J.C. whitney 192.99
Costco Canada 205.99.

By the time you pay for shipping it's not worth it.
not to mention costco's rotation and balancing benefit, plus warranty.

Nice, thanks OP. This deal must start on the 29th because I called today and they were unaware of any deals.

Ok so I went to Costco today to special order some LM-60s. Didnt think I'd care much for the roadside kit...was only interested in the $70 off...but after seeing the kit...WOW! THIS THING IS AWESOME! It literally has everything you need for a winter roadside emergency and more. Im probably going to take most of the items out, except for if I were to take out of city trips or something.

Air compressor, tow strap, shovel, booster cable, heat packs + poncho + gloves + blanket, basic first aid stuff, flashlight, tools, etc... There's even a complimentary 1 year roadside assistance.

Nope, can't find it on their website. It's a Treksafe kit. This is the only pic I could find of it:

This deal is also available on Costco.ca tires that may not be in stock at your local Costco - you can order them, (price will NOT show the $70 discount until you proceed to checkout!) and when they are in at your local Costco after ordering them, they will let you know via email, then you can go to your local Costco (first come first served for tire appts.) and have them put on.

My question to you guys - GMC Sierra 1500 half ton truck - with heavy suspension pack on it - I asked in-store if the cheapest Bridgestones that we can order from Costco.ca will work for our truck, and they said yes... (595 for 4, includes install and GST and tire disposal. (Alberta - No HST.) This price includes $70 rebate and I assume you get the free safety kit.)

These were the tires ordered:
LT245/75R16 DUELER H/T 684 II

But then I looked up reviews on epinion, and other websites, and oh man, they were terrible! So I canceled the order. The main complaint was with wear and tear, as well, the #1 complaint seemed to be problems with hydroplaning.

We drive this truck 3 min. to work, (and back, and back and forth for lunch), so 12 min. a day max. for that. Then, maybe 2 or 3 times a week perhaps 12 km running errands, and sometimes a little more going to the golf course in the summer. VERY low mileage in Northern Alberta where the snow is deep, cold, and plentiful...

So... what would you do - spring another $200 for a better quality tire, or hope these work out o.k. and last a long time?

Thanks!

Also - the ones in stock were said to be 10 ply or something like that, and they mentioned the ride would be kind of rough, as it's meant for rougher terrain...

Thanks very much for any input!

I thought Pirelli $70 promo doesn't start until later, in a few weeks...
