No mileage guarantee, No road hazard guarantee but Michelin would replace the tire if a manaufacturing defect showed up. Tire would be replaced on a Pro-rated basis based on tread depth. Would not be allowed to park truck and 5th wheel in Costco parking lot to bring one tire in at a time but would be allowed to park the truck and 5th wheel in the vacant lot next door and bring in one wheel at a time.
Costco has lots of company imposed "hang-ups".
Example: If you only purchase *two* tires for your pickup or car, they MUST be placed on the rear - as per company policy. Doesn't matter if you want them in the front. (You solve re-rotation).
Like everyone else (at Costco tire), you *will* have free Nitrogen fill.
Great you say? -or- tell them to just use air?
The guy/s mounting your tires are interrupted every couple of minutes to check and/or top-off customers tires. Hey, it's free!
A simple job (mount 2 tires) that should take about 30 minutes - will be 2 hours.
As you have found, Discount Tire is a more practical source for XPS Ribs at approx the same cost.
BTW - usually at Discount or *any* tire store, you must do your own "due diligence" on tire brands.
With the exception of prices and warranty, your tire sales guy may know way less than you do - as he was the night manager at Taco Bell last week..:W
Tell a Discount Tire guy you need trailer tires, and he likely will tell you the merits of purchasing Carlisle ST..:R
