BFGoodrich® Traction T/A is not stocked at any of these stores. You have to special order them.

I dont have membership at either Costco or Sam's.

Costco=$50/yr, Sams= $35 (i think), Walmart = no membership required

Tire (installed + road hazzard):
Costco = $105/each
Sam's = 108
Walmart = $115

Now the problem is that if i let my membership lapse after a year, so does the warrenty/road hazzard for costco + sam's.

Pls Help me decide where to get the Traction T/A's.

When Costco has a $60 off coupon on Michelin and BF Goodrich tires, the membership will pay for itself.

I ordered my Traction T/As at Walmart last year, but after waiting a couple of weeks I gave up and price-matched them at Sears. Costco didn't sell them at the time.

Do you have Discount Tire near you?

That's where I got my BF Goodriches....came out to less than 130 per tire, but that's with free rotations/balances for life.

Go to another store and get them to price match? Markup is huge in tires from what I hear, they've got the wiggle room.

Otherwise if you have no use for Costco/Sam's membership, go to Wal-Mart. We shop at Sam's anyway, so that would be where I would go (and probly will go).
