Default xposted to tire forum: Costco's Kirkland Signature brand tires.. any opinions?
Alright, people with Costco's around should know what I'm talking about. Costco has their own line of Kirkland branded tires that has to be OEM'ed by someone. A search around the web says that its most likely that Michelin are the OEM manufacturer of these tires. I'm in the market for a set of high performance all-weathers so anyone used the Kirklands or can add anything?

Default well what's the price of these said tires/size, if it's comparable in price to say S03, RE730's i'd
say forget the kirkland stuff, and go with the name you know.

Default my dunlop SP 5000 Sport's are great high-performance, all season tires.
very grippy, great in rain...haven't tried in snow/ice yet.

Default SP 5000 Sport's are very good, but a track will eat them up...
I use SP 8000's on my '90 90q 20v for the track - summer rubber compound will hold up - I'd be afraid that all-season rubber will chunk on hot days.

Pass on 'em. The only thing on your car that contacts the ground is the tires. Get a good set.
