Anyone used CostCo Tyre Centre?

[HA51EMT]

Mrs HA51EMT's Puma is in need of some new rubber all round.
Anyone used CostCo?
Are they significantly cheaper?
Do they carry plenty stock?
Are they on the ball or do you end up hanging round for ages?
Do they do alignment?

I found them more expensive than my usual place (Northampton Tyres).

I know plenty of people that have used them, and had no issues.

as above, not the cheapest but a decent service and a limited amount of brands, tyres are inflated with nitrogen which is supposed to be better or so I'm told

Word around the camp fire is that they are having a big sale in November on tyres/fitting etc. So if you are going to use them, I would wait until then.

Have used our local one (Croydon), prices are good with deals on but they stock Michelin only.

Every so often they send out 20% off flyers, may be worth giving them a ring

I've used them in the past, they used to stock several brands and were very good on price and service but i don't think they are as competative as they used to be.

We got tyres for one of our Pumas there earlier in the year, they had a "buy 3 get one free" offer on Michelin.

I think we got the Pilot Exalto (PE2) for around £180 for 4 in standard sizes, really happy with them, especially compared to the awful P6000s they replaced.

Worth trying a few local independants for prices first though, they sometimes come up with a better deal and it's nice to support the smaller people.

I think they have a 20% off deal starting in November.

Bear in mind though, other side of the road, behind motosave, is a smnall place called RB tyres. They have always given me the cheapest prices in the past.

I believe they only stock Michelin. That's what they told me anyway!

[HA51EMT]

Thanks for all the input.
CostCo came in at:
£47.99 for Michelin Pilot PE2 195/50/15 V
Plus £7.00 for fitting plus VAT.
They only stock Michelin.
The guy there suggested I came back in November for the 20% off offer unfortunately Mr. MOT man needs to see it before then.

Voucher booklet arrived in the post today, and as expected they have 20% off a set of 4 fitted michelin tyres. If anyone wants a set and isn't a member then give me a shout and I can meet you at costco with my card
