You might want to double check your order unless Costco is running some sort of special Arkansas deal. Maybe I'm missing them but I don't see prices like that at http://tires2.costco.com

The deal is $70 off a set of four tires and not $70 off each tire.

I like Costco a lot and am a shareholder but they can make mistakes -- like when they gave me three of the correct size and one of an incorrect size when I bought a set of MXV4's early this year. The tires were bagged so I didn't notice but the Lexus dealer guy sure did when he tried to mount them. Costco quickly delivered the correct size tire to the Lexus dealer.

by looking at the costco website the cheapest i found was $127 with the $70 rebate excluding taxes and service fees. it all depends on the tire size and speed rating. the 16's with the H speed rating was $142 without the rebate.

WOW. Website says 245/45/18 for 119 each and you get 70 off the set. That can't be right. I was just at Belle and they were like 1k bucks for 4. Are there different MXV4's?

Regardless, I'm on my way to Costco before they fix it.

Michelin - Primacy™ MXV4®
Item #: 195456
Tire Size: 245/45R18 96V
Tire Type: All-Season
Sidewall: Black Sidewall

It looks legit. I called and they confirmed. 10/13/10 is when $70 rebate ends. Final price for 4 tires installed with tax and installation added is $524.28. 1 week ago costco the same tires was for $1000. Glad I waited.

At that price you would just get the tires mounted and have your regular quality garage balance them, do the alignment and pay for rotations when they do other work on your cat. I am not fond of Sears, Costco, Walmart etc. labor working on my car yet alone taking my tires on and off to rotate em. I am too old to be penny wise and pound foolish. I had Sears rotate my tires and not retighten them enough, bad experience. JMO

go to costco.com
pick 2006 lexus ls 430 with 18 wheel size options. Then go to the optional equipment tag and there are 16 tires to choose from. The last one is the Michelin mxv4.

My goodness! I found them. Can the price be true? $119.99 for a 245/45R18 V-rated MXV4 Primacy tire BEFORE the $70 per set rebate? Buy two or three sets!

And, yes, I'm a Costco shareholder -- I love that company.

Thank you drvinh!!!!!

It took the intervention of a regional manager, but the store honored the price and just sold me 4 Primacy MXV4 245/45/18 for 446.36 after tax. I'm going to have Lexus put them on. You just saved me 600 dollars on tires that I was going to buy anyway.

OMG!!!!

drvinh, you are the man!!!

My Primacys are new with 2,000 miles on them but went to the site out of curiosity. I don't see any deals other than $70 off a set of 4 plus installation charges.

Item # 195456 still there as of 1041pm Central Time (see attachment). Note that the price is ONLY good on the 18 inch version, as the 17s are still 167.00.
