Costco and Tires

[kilnred]

Costco put tires on my 951 a few years ago. One of the rears had a puncture and had to be replaced under road hazard. That particular Bridgestone was no longer available though. Costco replaced both rears with the newer Bridgestone model, no questions asked. I've since moved out of the area, but if I were still there I'd take the 986S back.

I bought a set of tires at Costco for my truck and they could never get them balanced properly, and they said the wheel was at fault. I took them to America's Tire and they rebalanced them for free and got it right. I found that the prices at America's tire were as good as Costco, and I've been going there ever since.

Funny, I've had multiple problems getting tires balanced correctly at the America's Tire nearest to me. I even had to contact their headquarters (the management team there was very helpful and supportive). They finally got it right on the 3rd try when the manager stood there and watched the tech do the work.

Generally, I am not too selective when it comes to tire installation because there is nothing unique about installing tires for a Boxster as compared to any other car.

Discount Tires, they are very careful when handling Porsches. Very impressed with their operation and care they take when working with aluminum wheels.

I take my cars to Discount Tire and haven't had an issue. The one time the broke a tire pressure sensor on my GTI, they ordered a new one right away and handled the issue very well.

Another vote for Discount Tire.

I have had them replace tires a couple of times, best price and never a mark on the rims.

And another vote for discount tire. Those guys love working on P-cars. A welcome reprieve after so many Honda's, Nissan's, Toyota's, and such... Just check them on price, cuz they will stick it to you if they can.
