Default Costco tires?

Hey guys, how is Costco for tires? I need to get some all-seasons or winter tires on the 944, but I don't need performance tires. She's running on 7x16 cookie cutters right now. Can I trust Costco with a car like this? I just don't want to spend a bundle on tires for the winter, when I think of what else I could put that cash towards. (i.e. track tires for the summer!)

Thanks!
Chris

They have brand names only. I'd go to a local shop to see what they have. Be careful how they jack up your car though... Sometimes, they will use the transmission as a jacking point.

I found Costco limited in choices. You might check out Dream Tire on Morris drive in Burlington. Excellent selection and prices seem good too.

Hey Chris,

I had the alignment done on my SC at Dream Tire. They seemed to have a good selection of tires when I was in there.
