Default I just got an outrageous quote on Michelin pilot sports

I'm going to tub my car (just got the stuff to do it) and the next day I happened to notice the display of tires at Costco so I figured I'd see what they want for some Michelin pilot sport 335-30-18 tires. Now I already figured that I would be buying them from the Tire Rack simply because of this website and what Troy has done for us but I wanted to see what Costco was getting for them.
First I asked the lady about Mickey Thompson tires for my truck and she gave me a blank stare like who the heck is Mickey Thompson, so I just said how about Michelin pilot sports, she said ya we have Michelin, then she hit a few keys on the computer and said 393.99 I said how many tires do I get for that :lol: she said 1 :lolg: :rofl: :lolg: .
Tire rack has them on sale for $165.00 a piece, I sure hope Troy doesn't see this thread :leaving:

It pays to shop around, I did when purchasing my FLP headers and just got a great deal from one of our vendors just by asking if they could beat someone's elses price. Never hurts to ask.
