Costco - order online... cheap and painless, their price includes balancing and
their price includes balancing and install and road hazard insurance. Can't beat that in any other tire place.

If Costco has what you want at a good price, they are OK but it depends on which one and their
service can be very bad.
I've found that many tire chains are very inconsistent and it all depends on the employees at he one you go to.
I ended up at a Just Tires in Pasadena for my last set of tires and they did a great job w/ great price.

agreed. Used to take all our vehicles to Costco but our Costco is too busy. Two hours to look at
fix a nail on the tires. Our local Discount tire is not as busy and got it done in 30 mins. Plus Costco is a couple miles down the road vs. a block and a half from the office for Discount. So now I can be more productive instead of waiting at Costco the whole time.
They both price match, special order, and do the same services so neither has an advantage there.

Costco has good prices but the wait for a new install and subsequent rotations will kill you.
They don't use a Hunter, either. I highly recommend Big-O Tires in Glendale. They match prices and can get just about any tire you want. One of the owners from good ol' Dick Cash wheel alignment owns and still works at Big-O. The old timers know how good Dick Cash was. They're now located next to Spence's. Old timers know how good Spence's is, too.
