Tried Costco in past. Refused to mount tires they had on my Mercedes as they were not H rated. Allegedly their book said required H rated tires. Bought something elsewhere that was lower than H rated.

I've always beat Costco prices anyway, besides that the last time I had work done there they used cheap lead weights (or whatever metal they were made from). The place I use now uses a Hunter 9700 that load balances the tire to the wheel and they used stick-on weights and they allow me to walk under my car while it is up on the rack for a visual inspections plus I can sip free Espresso in the small lobby while they work. Costco is cold, the tire shop stinks and there are too many errant shopping carts loose to suit me.

Checked Costco again.
Still no H rated tire in my size, which should be 205 70 14 or 195 70 14. Will have to buy elsewhere as Costco does not mount tires lower than speed rating in their book. In addition found warranty conditions. Free repairs but only for 60 months. My daily driver is my Mercedes and would likely get only 30K miles in 5 yrs and would not be worn out after 60 months. So no flat repairs after 60 months. See part of Costco tire warranty below. TO QUALIFY FOR THIS WARRANTY: 1. You must be the original purchaser of the tires. 2. You must have purchased the tires from Costco Wholesale. 3. You must present the original purchase receipt and tire to a Costco Wholesale Tire Center. CONDITIONS OF THIS WARRANTY: 1. The Purchaser must rotate and balance their tires as outlined by the vehicle manufacturer. 2. The Purchaser must operate their tires at inflation pressures outlined by the vehicle manufacturer. 3. The Purchaser must keep all mechanical parts that effect tires in proper working condition. 4. The Purchaser will be required to sign a “Costco Wholesale Tire Adjustment Form”. WHAT IS COVERED: "1. “Road Hazard Failure” is defined as a tire that becomes unserviceable due to cuts, non-repairable punctures or impact damage. Costco Wholesale will repair tires with tread-face injuries in accordance with established RMA (Rubber Manufacturers Association) standards. 2. This warranty covers road hazard failures in Passenger, Performance and Light Truck tires purchased from Costco Wholesale. 3. This warranty is valid for sixty (60) months from the date of purchase or when the tire reaches 2/32 of an inch or less in remaining tread depth regardless of age. When a tire has 2/32 of an inch or less in tread depth, it is considered worn out. 4. This warranty provides credit based upon remaining usable tread at the time of failure due to road hazard. 5. “Usable Tread” is defined as the original tread depth of a tire less 2/32 of an inch (tread wear indicators). 6. Credit is determined by multiplying the useable remaining tread by the current price of the tire. 7. This Warranty is a promise under certain conditions to give credit on a pro-rated basis towards the purchase of a new tire. This warranty does not imply that tires sold by Costco Wholesale meet certain specifications or cannot fail. This Warranty does not replace or modify any original tire manufacturers warranty on material and workmanship." WHAT IS NOT COVERED: 1. A tire that is damaged / failed due to vandalism. 2. A tire that is damaged / failed due to an accident. 3. A tire that is damaged / failed due to commercial use. 4. A tire that is damaged / failed due to racing. 5. A tire that is damaged / failed due to Off-Road use. 6. A tire that is damaged / failed due to snow chains or studs. 7. A tire that is damaged / failed due to rapid or irregular wear. 8. A tire that is damaged / failed due to wear from worn mechanical components on the vehicle. 9. Tires transferred from the vehicle on which they were originally installed. 10. Loss of time, inconvenience, loss of use of vehicle or consequential damage. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply. http://www2.costco.com/Images/Content/Misc/PDF/TIRE.pdf |
