Discount Tire or Costco? I'm weird in that I don't let non-dealer shops do any wheel/tire work.
Tire gorillas abound everywhere, who will pay if the rims get messed up or the mounting/balancing isn't right? Cheap is good until you realize that, sometimes, you get what you pay for.
Mistakes can happen at the dealer, too, the difference being you can b!tch and moan and get yours at the end.
To each their own.

I also heard (but haven't verified) that Costco won't touch centerlocks. Finding a non-dealer shop you trust with CL could be a leap of faith for those of us with them.

So after 6 months since CarMax service center, my mechanic takes my front wheel off, he find out my front wheel is missing a bolt and they way over tighten them. Like WTF man. This is going to be inline with Costco. Just minimum wage dumbasses working the bays.

A few things to note:
1) The Pilot Sport 4S is designed to deliver performance in between the Super Sport and the Sport Cup 2 while maintaining the wet performance of the Super Sport.
2) When you look at the Pilot Sport 4S side by side with the Sport Cup 2 (below) you will notice the tread looks very similar except it has one more groove for water displacement.
3) They will be on sale in US in early March and 911 size fitment will be available at launch
4) They are working with Porsche on an N-rated variant for the 911 but it is not available at launch.
5) I asked which variant would be best for the 911 at launch (Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW, etc.) and he said the best performing variant will be the standard Michelin version. Michelin thinks most OEMs compromise their design.
