Whoa! $115.99 Michelin - 255/35X19" Pilot Sport PS2 at Costco
Whoa! $115.99 Michelin - 255/35X19" Pilot Sport PS2 at Costco
I ran across 255/35 19" tires on Costco's tire site for $115.99 each. Seems crazy cheap, especially when the price on the front tires are $277.99. Even so, the average price for a set of front/rear tires is still lower than some no-name tires.
Anybody know anything about the Pilot Sport PS2's ?? Like how well they wear, ride quality, etc? At this price I may sock a pair away since rear tires wear out faster.

Here's Tire Rack users reviews on the PS2. Anyone own a set on their CF?

I just tried that link and it failed. Going to tires.costco.com and doing the search for SRT6 tires showed the Michelin 255/35x19 Pilot Sport PS2 for $277.99 each.

Thanks for posting this, I pulled the trigger, with tax, mounting and balancing, state disposal fees, two new rear tires were $252 out the door...thank you, thank you, thank you !!!

Yes I am, but Costco isn't such an exclusive club. You might have to order and pay online to get this price. I doubt they keep such an odd size in stock at the local Costo's. And then the in-store pricing via special order might be closer to retail. That's my guess anyways.
Our local Costco currently has $80 off when you buy 4 tires. I wonder if you can get the discount if you present the online receipt. Then you could get 4 rear PS2's for $96 each.

But I would think you would have to be a member to pick them up?

Go back to the web site and click on the tab that says "Specifications" and you'll see what I mean. The UTQG index is more related to traction and wear (generally lower# means better traction)

I called Michelin - I was told that they don't make a low cost or low performance PS2 tire... All 19" PS2 tires are rated at 186 mph 96Y - - or are rated above 186 mph (96Y) look for the ( )
The PS2 is their Ultra High Performance sport tire line .. period ...
Costco made a typo - they should be $404.99 per tire + $10 install - $810.00
I purchased two for $209.98 and I will get refunded for the installation fee ($20) when I pick up the tires... as I don't need them installed just yet..
BTW - Costco emailed me the conformation and it shows the tires as:
2 - - Michelin® Pilot Sport PS2 255/35ZR19 XL Item# 344134 - - Standard - - $104.99- - $209.98
SWEET!!!
