Costco told me Michelin X-ice Xi3 wont fit with my SR+

On a slightly different note. I don't buy any tires at Costco. Our here where I live, they are simply not competitive at all. Maybe that is different in other areas, I don't know. The tires I bought for my car where $380 cheaper for the whole set at a local tire store for the same exact brand and sku number of tire.

Went to Kaltire in Waterloo today. Was great. They knew everything about Tesla, didn't have to say anything. Jack mode, jack points, right torque, PSI, no problems mounting tires. Just hung out there for an hour with wifi. Looks like they get teslas daily here cause I saw another one in the lot too.

It seems like Costco and Tesla just don't go together. The local GTA Costco's I've checked with won't even touch a Tesla.

A huge long thread of replies when really this should be the message.

Don't go to Costco for Winter Tires if you have a Tesla. Pretty simple.

Just installed my Ice-X winter tires at Costco Montreal West Island. They knew to set the pressure to 42. Not only that, they wanted me to come back after 40km to double check that all lug nuts maintained the correct torque value of 129 lb ft. Very impressed and satisfied with their knowledge of Tesla. Make sure to book an early appointment and you should be done within 1h. All in cost $1255, not including $110 GC promo from a few weeks ago.

@jamesspice thanks for sharing, I also live in Burlington and was planning on buying X-Ice Xi3's from Costco, as this has been my tire of choice for the last 7 years. I bought another set of 18" areo's rims which should be coming in this weekend. Have you talked to Burlington Tire? Nice to meet someone from Burlington.

@Flexbomb I also bought the R187's, but read some people have had issues? How has your experience been?

I think the original issues were software related and not having regs in them when switching to winters. I’m good with them now. Get the aero caps cause it matches the Center hub perfectly.

I just got my X-Ice installed at Costco Nanaimo on Wednesday. They had no issues installing them nor did they give me any flak about speed ratings etc. I specifically asked in advance if they were comfortable installing winter tires on a Model 3 and they said they have the lift adapters and they had done it before. I think this must vary considerably from Costco to Costco, depending on the staff there.

Cost including installation: $1231.90, with a $110 Costco card sent electronically to me after ordering, so $1120 after that.

Had the X-Ice installed at Costco today. No issues installing on the SR+ with Replika 187. They clearly were experienced dealing with Tesla’s and had the proper lift pads. Great service.

I went to Burlington Costco last year to swap my winter tires, but in the spring when I went again, they told me they no longer touch Tesla. It feels like they change their "policy" all the time...

The Costco Tesla experience is 100% dependent on the actual store.

Heartland Costco refuses to service Tesla's.

That's so strange that it's not chain wide. The Kanata Costco had no issues at all - they explained that they have the correct lift pads and didn't blink at all when I gave them a card instead of a key fob. It was really a great experience.
