Bridgestone, Firestone, Goodyear, BF Goodrich tires are hilariously overpriced and are manufactured for soccer moms and dads who know jack poo poo about cars.

KO2s are amazing though and if you can point me to a better tire that also has white letters then I'll take that into consideration.

Is this still the case when they are running their $0.01 cent installation special? Are you guys upset with the cost or the actual service performed? Unclear. My tire/battery guys have always been super helpful at my temple.

It’s nothing against the Church, but my entire state has to share one Costco (in the middle) and it shows more in Auto than all other departments.

Costco doesn't carry tires for my vehicle in store or online and they refuse to install tires that are not in their approved size book so I went to discount tire and they price matched the penny install with no push back. Their rebate was also $10 more but mail-in versus Costco's instant.

Went to Costco this morning and the parking lot was almost full 10 minutes before opening. I do love everybody in this city doesn't realize you can use the pump even if your tank is on the other side. Always open spots yet a line of 3+ cars waiting at the other pumps.

I got yelled at by a lady who was telling me I couldn’t pump and how dare I block a pump in that situation. I just stared at her like ???? the whole time I filled up. I just don’t get why people feel the need to be an rear end in a top hat for no reason. If she would have asked what I was doing I would have shown her or if she jus watched for a few more seconds. She just needs a dog and a sofa I feel.

Seriously, shop around. Brand names mean jack poo poo.

So if brand names mean poo poo, why are you listing a bunch?

I use Hankook tires, but they aren't magically better than anything else. It's a tire that works perfectly fine where I live where it doesn't get too hot in the summer or cold in the winter.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Don't get stressed going to the 'Co. Smoke some weed, put on some headphones, eat a dog and then make your way through the store with no rush. Feel free to slam your cart into other people's carts who abandon them or run over people who are stopped to get samples. Those people are sub-human trash, regardless of the fact that they also have Costco cards.

It's sad, but we have to accept that access to the church is not exclusive, so some really repugnant people still get in the doors.

I got my tires from Costco two years ago. I got a nail in my sidewall last week and Costco only charged me $20 on a $160 tire because of their road hazard warranty. Pretty much pays for a year of membership right there. PBUC

Costco sells a small well-built compressor for $29.99 that hooks to your cigarette lighter and works beautifully. Bought one for me and one for the wife and we have them (along with one of those lithium battery starters) stored in our vehicles at all times. It’s already saved our butts a couple of times and we’ve been able to help others too.

I actually prefer using it to my pancake compressor in my garage.

The little orange one? That is a surprisingly great pump. Comparable to the way more expensive Viair brand 12v inflators.

I've discovered tikka masala is insanely easy to cook. we cook paneer tikka masala instead of chicken since the gf is vegetarian, but it's even basically no carb as well so good for diets and i ate that a lot with cauliflower rice while i was on a keto diet.

costco carries paneer but it seems hit or miss, if we can't get it we'll just use tofu.

if you want the recipe, pm me. secret is also some fenugreek leaves to go with it that really brings it up to top notch restaurant quality.

Paneer isn't too difficult to make if you want to learn a new thing and perhaps impress the gf.
