Costco tends to be picky about load index and speed rating. They might not install a 115H tire.
just under 1500$ w/o America tire warranty that would add up to your number. just back from Tahoe overniter so tardy.
Thank you. Paid exactly the same sans warranty.
AT tires are generally rated poorly in rain, ie longer stopping distances, but depending on the sipes do better or the same as AS in snow. There is a misconception that AT means better in snow. It’s pretty variable by tire. LTXs have an excellent reputation for wet and snow. Many ATs have too many grooves and not enough siping for snow and wet conditions (think KO2s and Territory ATs). They’re usually fine but if you thought the tire was doing something it’s probably just confirmation bias. I’ve been on plenty of bald tires that did “ok” and had plenty of AS tires that were just fine on pretty difficult off road and winter conditions that your average “tourist” never sees. Tires are like wine. If you didn’t take a blind taste test you might think the Costco stuff cost the same as a $100 bottle under the right conditions.
Ohh interesting. I have not seen these before. Have you heard any feedback on this tire? I’m interested to see their ice/snow ratings. Thanks!Suggest the Goodyear Wrangler Steadfast, looks like a near perfect fit for your needs:
Recent roundtrip Saratoga CA to/from Tahoe. No issue at those speeds
Sadly, I found a sidewall blister on my passenger rear tire. No scuff or scrape and neither my wife or myself recall hitting a potholes hard enough to damage the tire. The rim is clean without any scrape or scratches either.
