for fitting. Prices include VAT, valves, balancing, fitting etc. CostCo
prices are higher, then there is fitting, old tyre disposal, valve and cap
and balancing costs, all with VAT added on top.
My local tyre fitter is cheaper than CostCo, most places are, even if you
forget the £30 annual membership fee.
Without posting specific details you are being VERy misleading and most
sensible people know that.

Costco list IIRC 864 different tyre sizes, they keep about 150 different
ones in their depots, the odd ones are got to order. Obviously I have not
got a price for all variants available to put in an email, plus that would
be boring to read.

costco only sell michelin, their normal price is very low, there is now an
extra 20 per cent off. their prices include valve, balance, old tyre
disposal, nitrogen filling, correct fitting and properly torqued up nuts.
all fitted by michelin trained staff rather than the odd monkeys you get in
most tyre tyre shops.

there is no misleading intended in my post, nor would most readers assume
there is.

if anyone wants to know a precise price for a particular size then let me
know and I'll check.

If you were to join just to buy your set of tyres then you could go back to
customer services and get your membership refunded. So there would be no
extra cost involved.

I know probably about a hundred people with costco membership, all are very
happy with their service.

I have just checked tyre shopper for the only size of tyre I bought last
month, a couple of 195/60h15 michelin energy savers, from tyre shopper they
are 82 pounds each, the bill from costco was 147 making costco nearly ten
pounds per tyre cheaper, remind me again who is cheap on tyres?

With the 20 percent promotion that would make the identical tyres, fitted
while you shop at costco 236 all included or 328 from tyre shopper and you
would have to go to some out of the way tyre place and hang about.

My conclusion from all this is that you have no idea what you are talking
about.
