^^^^And if you want to put on tires that deviate from OEM sizes, like I do Costco will not honor your request I buy many things from Costco, but not tires.

Tires and install only that's it, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Thank you for choosing America's Tire, ItzFilyO!

Industry standard is to rebuild the valve portion of the TPMS sensor anytime the tire is removed from the wheel. To ensure our service and safety standards are on par, TPMS rebuild kits are now included for no additional charge with installation

Do you know if all America's Tire shops use wire brush to clean off the wheel before putting on the balancing weights? They used that spinning wire brush on my old GS wheels last time and left a lot of nasty scratches on it. This is why I kinda hesitate to go back there.

Just went from Primacy to the Pilot. I prefer the handling and ride on the Pilot. Tried to get the Cross Climate but no one had them.

Tire retailer was not keen on the Premiers (heard a lot of complaints).

Still had tread on Primacy but wanted new tread for winter. A little disappointed in the Primacy tread that only driven 25K on them with maybe 10K left.

'13 AWD Lux here, looking for a new all season that will be able to survive my NJ winters, and still use Sport + to its full potential. Anyone one here have a good performing A/S that holds up in the snow?

We use a few different methods for cleaning the inside barrel of the wheel. Which method is situational however there are none abrasive solutions. PM coming your way.
