I had a non-repairable puncture on my tow truck. Cotsco could not match it with an in stock tire. They checked the whole world for me.

At that point I called a friend at Michelin. He said they always do special runs for Cotsco. The construction and rubber compounds are different from their usual run. The tire I need is scheduled for production the end of this month. They'll run off a quarter-million tires in my size.

I had three blow outs in a year with Costo "Michelins". The last set was total crap, they could not even be balanced correctly.

In addition the store manager in San Diego did not know how to correctly measure a rim width and was totally disrespectful to me. I could go on, but you catch my drift. Rant over.
