The Costco warrenty is worthless. The Costco Tire Centers are a high volume shop provided as a "convenience" to customers. Costco does not have tire alignment equipment, its not a safe place to buy tires for the family.
I bought a 2002 Toyota Camry new from the dealer, and at around 30,000 replaced the dealer tires with BF Goodrich from Costco in Carlsbad, CA. The car has only been to the dealer and Costco after oil changes for tire rotations. The Costco guarantee is for 70,000 miles, however after 50,000 miles 2 tires have 2/32 left and Costco is fighting us on honoring the warrenty. We're getting cheap tires which wear out 20,000 early, but because its "Costco" it seems good. Its ok to risk a big screen and if it breaks return it to Costco — but don't risk your family's safety..
Costco looks like a good deal, perhaps Sears or another place is more honest.
