Thanks. Call came from "private number" and when I answered there was no reply for 2-3 seconds. I was already about to yell "fly off", when nice lady with french accent (from Quebec) informed me what it was about. I was just a second away from embarrassing myself and possibly not getting refund. She emailed me a form with consent and math question, and had to upload invoice that shows tire purchase. That was it.

Winter tires in general will be noisier than summer or all seasons. Are you comparing to all seasons or to a previous set of winters on that car?

Oh did you figure it out?753951 wrote: ↑ With rumoured price of Michelin tires going up tomorrow, and Costco not having them in stock since June (slim chance to be able to claim 20% discount for Labour day) I pulled the trigger today. Blackcircles price per tire $340.19 after discount + eco fee + tax. Costco would be $419.99 - 20% Labour Day discount + tax. $15 difference in the end. Nothing to cry about.
Since I have brand new rims and TPMS that need to be installed, I'm not even sure Costco would install these tires. Somebody mentioned that they will instill tires if sensors are already on rims, but not if they are separate.
According to Michelin, tires are produced in Hungary, so I fully expect last year's batch in any case.

"But they will not install TPMS unless it's theirs" here by "theirs" you meant tpms or tire? means tires have to be bought from costco or tpms?753951 wrote: ↑ Costco will install new tires on new rims. But they will not install TPMS unless it's theirs (you can't bring your own sensors). Also, they are sometimes picky and will refuse to install tires if they are significantly outside of the specs for the car you are installing on. All in all it's YMMV and you should contact the warehouse that's doing the install.
As for my specific case, the tires are still "temporarily" out of stock at Costco, so ordering from Blackcircles was good move. Not to mention that I won the "win back your purchase" contest from Michelin and tires did not cost me one cent. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than smart.
