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.

How much did it run you and what are the specs of your tires?
Is this the Canadian or US Costco?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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  Used about a third of the second jug to bleed it. My car takes about 12L of coolant because mid-engine 
Old vs. New. Lolwut

^ 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.

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:
