Isn't it ironic, don't you think?

In Ontario? I don't see it for Edmonton area in Costco's online Tire Centre website. Random check, didn't see it in Brampton but I see it in London.

They showed up today. It went as well as it could have. As long as you buy wheels from them and can take advantage of their free mount/balance, then the value quotient is there. If you're buying tires and mounting them on existing rims, then it would be less cost effective.

Other than that, cheapest tires and wheels I could find, comparable to Costco.

It's why Costco rocks for tires. Especially Blizzaks.

It’s only 265/70R16, but yea Kal Tire and PMC has these at $35-40 more per tire. Kal Tire said they can’t match these unless the local Costco had them in stock.

Ahh, the size explains why. I was pricing out 255/70R18's, and even Costco was something like $210/tire + install.

I don't recall any mention of having to buy TPMS sensors for your new rims/tires. Are Tundra's not equipped with TPMS?

Mine is equipped with TPMS on the factory wheels. I decided to forego the expense of TPMS on my winter wheels/tires. The TPMS light is lit up on the dash, and that seems to be the only negative effect. Everything else from stability control to traction control seems to work normally, even without the TPM sensors (some higher end vehicles may have some of those systems integrated with the TPMS).
