Anyone ever use Costco tire center? I have a membership there and know they sell tires. Michelin & BF Goodrich I believe.

No, but I've heard nothing but great things about them. We have a membership too and I always forget about them

No problem. How much can really be said about tires?

I understand that you're probably wanting to buy local, but seriously consider buying online. I saved about $250 on a set of tires and got free shipping. You can probably get them mounted for around $80

Walmart.com

You can pick whatever you want and get them sent site-to-store shipping free. Go to the store and they will install them or you can just take the tires to get them installed where you want.

be very careful buying Walmart or Sams tires. They are not of the same quality and grade as others. Goodyear,Firestone,Mastercraft,Pirelli and all of the other manufacturers make special cheap tires for Walmart.

Yeah, I'll be needing a new set in the next year or so. Hard to pass up a good online deal

They have a big selection. Almost any tire a company makes you can buy at Walmart.com, or you can get a cheaper version.

I typically knight for skidmarks, but I don't think I'll be going there again. Brought my truck in Saturday to have them check out my brakes and they want $600 to change my back drum brakes and another $1100 because my master cylinder and brake booster are bad


Damn, which Skid Marks? We go to the one on Highland past Blue Bayou near Airline and have never had a problem.

Yes. Two sets of Michelins. Good service, but it's best to wait until they go on sale (if you talk to the guys, they'll usually tell you if a sale is coming up soon).
