Where did you guys get your Michelin PSS'?

mikey2781 06-07-2014 05:02 PM

PSS were my favorite until I decided to go for the stanced look with a bit of strech/poke. The shoulders were to square, hard to get a flush fitment with these without rubbing and not having to do fender work.

However, nothing can compare with PSS when its dry out, it's aight in the rain but hankooks/falkens/contis are FAR better in the rain.

I got mine from Costco. They had a promotion that just ended on the 2nd of July with ~$15 off per tire + (can't remember exactly) either free or reduced installation price including balancing, plus free tire rotation for the life of the tire.

bcrdukes 06-07-2014 05:25 PM

How much did it run you and what are the specs of your tires?

Is this the Canadian or US Costco?

Noran 06-07-2014 05:33 PM

Canadian Costco.

235/45/17

$1,062 taxes in with installation package.

They're significantly cheaper in the states. Just gave a quick look at tire rack and they were about $60 less per tire. However, I'd rather deal locally and avoid the hassle of bringing them across the border, exchange rate etc.

Energy 06-07-2014 06:13 PM

That's not bad. It cost me $1,130 shipped to Point Roberts for a pair each of 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. Plus 12% taxes.

Yodamaster 06-07-2014 06:14 PM

Cleaning up bits and pieces for the Subaru to make installation easier later on.

You're probably better off. The dollar is shyte, no border crap and no hassle with Costco.

Just because it's not a specialty shop, I'd make a point to take pics of the rims, tell the service advisor you did so and to be extremely careful with them. Not sure if they use torque wrenches or torque sticks but I'd also request they use the former.

Noran 06-07-2014 07:23 PM

I'll have my wheels off of my car when I bring them there and I'll be sure to have lots of pictures on my phone.

I must have missed a post in the thread, but mind sharing where you got yours from?

I'm looking for a set for my Corolla S.

immorality 06-07-2014 07:58 PM

Out with the old, in with the new:

Sorry, I don't think I mentioned it yet. I got them from tire rack.

bcrdukes 06-07-2014 08:15 PM

That's a pretty good price, especially for 19s!

Thanks! :)

fliptuner 06-07-2014 08:19 PM

No 13's :okay:

Jus clean it.. Baller!

Not today but whatever... more like Wednesday (dis-assembly & waiting for parts) and Thursday nights (re-assembly)

My "hose from hell" had enough of my shit and decided to let go. It's a coolant line for the oil cooler that's underneath the turbo and is known to go. Was gonna drain out all the old coolant but decided to do it another day. Settled with topping it off and bleeding it for now. Lost so much coolant that I emptied out a jug just topping it off :lawl: Used about a third of the second jug to bleed it. My car takes about 12L of coolant because mid-engine :okay:

^ Pain in the ass to replace with the engine in, there should be a way to install a metal pipe instead of the rubber hose.

mb_ 06-08-2014 05:23 AM

Wasn't as bad as I thought but it was no walk in the park either. I never want to do that again. I took the oil cooler off instead of the turbo though.

This tool also sped things up with getting the clamps off in hard to reach places like the bypass hose that was underneath the thermostat housing:
