4 Michelin at Costco

[C240Sport97]

Got a price today from Costco vs. the place I normally use.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (replaces the 2 apparently):

245 40 18 97Y
Costco with discount: £212ea
R & M Tyres Medway: £198ea

265 35 18 97Y
Costco with discount: £269ea
R & M Tyres Medway: £234ea

So Costco are good but still £100 saving to made on all 4.

R & M Medway's prices are amazing. Are they careful with your alloys? Have they ever damaged, scratched or kerbed your alloys?

You would have thought that he would have got a deed poll form to change his name. Next you will be telling us that his first name is Firkin.

off topic, but there is a sergeant in the army who gets announced on the radio occasionally called Jack Twatt - you can kind of sense the snigger when they say his name

They have been since I've known about them (around 4 years now).

First time I went, it felt a bit like I was round the back of Phil Mitchell's lockup...

They are also very busy a lot of the time - so expect a wait.

I'm not aware of any issues with my wheels post-change - although I've only taken my previous Saab to them which had lacquer peeling off anyway, and our current Honda which has kerbed alloys.

Next time I go (not long now) will be the first time I've taken the Merc to them so it would be the acid test - although I am happy to unless Wright Tech can better those prices. I will be checking with them what they do to ensure they don't damage my wheels - just to be sure.

Saying that, they always use a torque-wrench of which those who don't are a personal bug bear.

The gaffer is I suspect someone who takes no sh*t but seems to be a fair guy when I've dealt with him - had a laugh once or twice. I think he has very high standards despite the budget prices.

Normally you get what you pay for but these guys are somewhat exceptional in that department - I've no qualms in using them.

£40 of fuel with 4 Michelin tyres. At this rate they will be giving them away.
20% off in CostCo
A further 20% off through RMA
And finally £40 worth of fuel.

I think I may buy two sets.

Oh dear - not sure if costco is a "participating dealer" worth a try however.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

I tried last year, and at that time Costco wasn't a participating dealer. I checked with Michelin

[ghouluk]

mmm, i asked today and they said any retailer of michelin tyres, no mention in t's and c's of authorised dealers

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Purchase 4 new Michelin tyres from a dealer of your choice.[/FONT]

in fact costco are listed on the dealer locator in the email - so i'd say they have to honour this one...

Michelin Dealer Locator | MICHELIN UK

(search reading and you'll find costco)

or was it the summer fuel one that asked for authorised dealer?

 

[scillyisles1]

Costco are not a participating dealer for the fuel offer so you cannot get the £40 fuel.
The RMA deal does seem to apply though so you should get the further 20% discount.

 

[markjay]

My tyres are 4mm-5mm so not quite worn yet.

But with two times 20% this offer is really tempting....

I don't do much mileage, so a new set will be good for 3-4 years.

Hmm....

Hmm....

If you've got somewhere to store them you can buy the tyres, take them away and they'll fit at a later date. A couple of times I've had 2 fitted and kept the other 2 for a while, once for 18mths.

hehe - just had an email off RMA telling me i need to be a member to use the discount voucher.

I had a chat with our lawyer at work as i couldn't see anything on the email they sent me or the t's and c's that michelin put on the voucher saying you had to be a current member of RMA.....she agrees they have to point this out before the event as they've put t's and c's on the voucher.

have written back -will keep you all posted

'Michelin has teamed up with RMA as their official track day partner. To celebrate this, members can benefit from this exclusive offer on a range of tyres... '

Well it clearly says members...
