Thanks Spotsbimmer for hooking us up with a smoking deal. I just checked Sam's Club and they are $405 each.

I was tempted to buy up a nice chunk of them. We'll lets see who gets them and who doesn't. I hope mine are on the truck already.

If for some itty bitty chance they don't honor them, just complain to the states department of weights and measures and each mistake in price is a $10,000 fine. Or just let them know you will be complaining to the dept and they will honor it.

 

I was thinking about getting a second set for the SSB. I thought about it too long.....drat!!

I ordered two last night right after reading this thread. Got shipping confirmation today . Thanks OP.

 

Yep got shipping confirmation today as well.

 

Just received notification that my tires are in at the Costco warehouse

I'm hoping I can swing by after work this evening and get them installed.

 

1.74 60 last night! :P

 

Wow! What an incredible find! These are stock on my car and I missed out after reading this too late!

 

Interesting, Costco offers (at no additional charge) Nitrogen Inflation.

Is this worth getting ?

Hopefully they could inflate the fronts as well, even though I only purchased rears.

 

First off, a BIG THANK YOU to Spotsbimmer for hooking us up

I went to Costco this evening and they didn't so much as bat an eye about the price. The tires are identical to the factory ZR SP2's they replaced, well aside from the newer date code and a LOT more tread.

These are as fresh as they get, the date code on both tires is 0708, which should be July, 2008.

Congrats, and enjoy the deal for those who took the leap of faith

 

Yes worth getting, especially for free!
Nitrogen is used in aircraft tires cuz it doesn't expand like "regular" air.
My tire sensor is lit when I first start out. Once the tires get warm the light goes out. Must be a little low on air in one tire and once the air expands pressure builds turning out the light. Nitrogen would eliminate this problem.

Also precludes having to change your air when the seasons change (spring to summer to fall...)

Time to order that second set I was wanting for the SSB.

I just ask a friend (costco member) to order 4 tires for me. I'll let you know if it works out at the 115.99 advertised price.

Forth tire down. It's still there!!!!!!!!!

 

Yep it's still there!! I checked last night and it was gone but looked again this morning and it's back as of 8am 10/9/08 Pacific time.

 

Can I haul two of these in the "trunk" area of the SRT? Or do I need to bring another car to pick these up???

 

You should be able to. Worst case 1 in front seat and one in trunk. Bring some blankets.

I received my shipping notice from Costco yesterday. As of yesterday I thought everyone who waited too long was SOL. But this morning it's back up on the Costco site at $115.99.

 

Picked my tires up today at lunch....Absolutly the correct tire...Manufactured in 7/08....

I will check when I get home to see if every word and letter is the same.

Should have purchased four and took the $80 discount (that's almost one $400 tire free)...or else purchased tires for the front.
