Costco tires

IMO, I've gotten tires at both tirerack.com and at Costco. The thing that separates Costco from other warehouse clubs, and frankly most all other retail stores is their service. Customer service is excellent in almost every situation, and is no different with tires.

There are a number of benefits with getting tires at Costco:
  • They use nitrogen instead of air which better stabilizes inflation pressure in tires, leading to improved fuel economy, slower loss of pressure over time, less moisture in tires.
  • One price for everything, none of this extra cost for disposal, road hazard, etc.
  • Lifetime services of rotation, balancing, flat repairs, all included in your initial purchase!
  • The few drawbacks are there's usually a long wait, they only service tires, no other services.
  • Wait, if you can, for the coupon passports, they usually will have savings for tires.

Some more credibility from fatwalleters.
