Cosctco's will not let "junk"tires out the door. They have a reputation and these manufactures literally have to be on wait lists to get their products sold to these places because of volume and number of stores and the millions they contract for. I have had Costco's name brand tires and did just as well as the ones from Tire Kingdom. If you think they make a special deal to sell Costco low name brand inferior product vs the smaller shops, think again...can you imagine that law suit?? Can you imagine the brand suicide? I can't believe that exists. I even think those tires are better as the turn around is better, vs the ones sitting around for awhile. I also love their gas, it's cheaper, better quality and always fresh...the Shell or mobile gas sits around forever where I live, because it is way over priced jmo |
