have you seen the line-ups at the tire counter on weekends? try their online appointments
if you have a question I would try calling close to opening or maybe closing or probably faster in-person if you happen to be shopping.

Don’t just buy them from the dealership, they usually supply generic winter Steelers too | I've been looking for OEM takeoffs on CL for a while now with no luck. I'm going to check with Kal Tire tomorrow.

Lol the line ups are insane. The warehouse opens at 10, the tire shop opens at 8, people start lining up at 6 am. We are going g help the members who’ve been waiting in line for hours over peeps who just call in. Online appointments are automated, so I don’t know why you’d expect a response.
At least for my Richmond warehouse, we’ve been trying to hire staff but coworkers in the warehouse don’t want to come to the tire department as they know how hectic it is. We’re dealing with about 1000 online tire purchases a week (250 sets) and that doesn’t include walk in or special order. Shits insane as our infrastructure was never intended to do these numbers. First world problems...

Reading above, it sounds like Costco is a gong show to buy tires from...
I have a set of oem rims and I need to buy 4 snow tires and get them mounted.
Would Kal Tire be a better place?

It is a gong show there. But it’s the only one nearby. I wish Richmond had 2 Costco’s.

Is it just the Richmond one? I wouldn't mind going to the Burnaby one if it's less crazy.

The guys at Brighton did a great job, got me in and out less than 1 hour!

They changed their hours now at Richmond. 6am!! I went this morning to lineup at 9am and it was full bays. Apparently they started this last week. Website still doesn’t reflect this.  | |

Fuuuuuuuck I didn’t realize they started opening so early now. Last few weeks I’ve been working the late shift til 11pm, as other departments are short and I have lots of other skills around the warehouse, so I go inside after the store closes.
And yes it’s been overtime every single day. Head office ain’t happy, so even though we close at 8:30 I believe they are scheduling two or so staff til 10pm to finish up (or at least clean, restock, pull orders for the next day etc if finished on time lol)

The other car is a tiguan with 1 season old WS80's but I hate that car.

The online appt system works well.
they could easily re-open the old grandview highway spot 5 min away and still be making hand over fist.

Yah Costco Burnaby seemed quite busy this past weekend. There was a line at the tire sales. If they aren't picking up your calls, I would go in person and make the appointment. That is what I did. Might as well do some shopping while you are there lol.

Are these people lining up to purchase and install?
I'm interested in the WS80's but I have to order them and it takes 5-10 days to deliver.
If the phone lines are backed up, does that mean I should go in person to order, and then come back when it's delivered?

Just order the tires at Costco.ca. No different than ordering hem in store. They get shipped to the warehouse and once received they call or email you or wtv and set up and appointment. No need to stand in the big line if you can do it online

Those tires are done at 2/32 tread depth so there's not much life left in them. If I was in your shoes I wouldn't be taking them out in the snow, especially when you have a Tiguan with winter tires. I hear you on the lack of SUV love, I hate when I have to drive my wife's SUV anywhere. Quote:

Is Costco's 5-10 business day delivery accurate?
There's an asterisk beside it, but I can't find any "fine print" related to that *.
Better not be something like, during busy winter season, winter tires can be backlogged 2 months, etc.
