Michelins are $150 off a set of 4 installed at Costco yet again. This will probably be the last time they run this promo until January.

Sadly, looks like Goodyear may have just bought Cooper. We'll see what that does to the brand.I just went with the cooper discoverer at3 4s. I have the 22s so not many choices but I liked a lot of the reviews on here and liked that I was buying good ol USA. So far I love them.
You are correct. Just got the e-mail today. Hopefully Goodyear doesn't cheapen the product. I get the sense that the tire market is very competitive and the costs are tied to materials and product development costs. Every time I've paid more for a tire, even within the same brand, I've gotten a better tire. I tried cheaper Yokohomas once and immediately noticed the difference. I tried cheaper Continentals and they weren't as good as the Yokohama. My Coopers are the most expensive tire I've every purchased, but they're much better than the Hankooks I had before. The tire market might really be a case of getting what you pay for.Sadly, looks like Goodyear may have just bought Cooper. We'll see what that does to the brand.
Yeah, I hear ya! I used to pay far more for my BFG AT's and MT's than I paid for my Coopers, even today. A lot of it is the materials, composition, and amount of materials, but my BFG's almost never made it even half way through their pro-rated mileage warranty. While smaller companies must pass on their higher costs, my hope is the smaller companies care more about the customer (maybe a little). The larger the company, the smaller the customer.You are correct. Just got the e-mail today. Hopefully Goodyear doesn't cheapen the product.
