Michelin Tyres Offer @ Costco

M5 Powered · 10-09-2009, 05:08 PM

Thought this might be of use to some of you.

Costco will be offering 20% off their Tyres at the end of October if buying 4.

Better still, if your a premiere card holder this effectively jumps to 22%.

As it stands their prices are as below. But these are likely to drop in October slightly.

Fronts

235/35/19 PS2 are £243.90

PS Cups are £290-13

Rear

265/30/19 PS2 are £325.78

PS Cups are £373.04

I can get a set for £1070 fitted locally TMAQ if this Costco offer doesn't happen....

Yeah, they are the biggest purchaser of Michelin Tyres in the UK which is
why most local tyre places would slam the phone when I asked what other quotes I'd had.

I will also be buying CUPS depending on how horrific my finances look post honeymoon. The bugger is I also need to buy a set of wheels to stick them on as well. Gulp!

Should have stuck'em on the wedding list, like the Snap-on Impact wrench

Best

Yup the best price but even so it's a lot of dough for something that last for 5 mins.

Ahh but soooo worth it! They actually last reasonably well if your car is set up running extra -camber. I always carry mine to the track as it saves wear too.

now that puzzles me tbh

road miles result in comparatively very litle wear to Cups. A new set of Cups should last over 5000 miles on the road if driven sensibly

now if you have stiffer suspension and adjustable camber plates a set of cups i reckon last between 4-7 (say 5) track days (depending front or back and what track and temperatures - and most of all how much care is taken by the driver not to overheat them)

so if we generalise a little Cups wear on track say

5 x 100 miles = 500 miles / 5mm = 100 miles/mm

on road you will do say

5000/5mm = 1000 miles/mm

now as the chances are the front Cups will fail due to shoulder wear what difference does a 1000 road miles make and is i worth carting around a set of wheels damaging the inside of the car?

(just to be clear the inside of mine is shagged)
