Looks like all 4 installed for $800 out the door plus $60 gift card if using Citi Visa card.....hard to resist.
Thanks again!

YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH MICHELIN FROM COSTCO! I have been running Michelins for 14+ years and have run the LTX-AT2's and other more "road only" Michelins. The Costco service is great and much less expensive than the local tire stores in my case here in Central Alabama. I actually got 80K+ off my first set of LTX AT2's and only swapped them due to dry rot cracks. I actually contacted Michelin directly about the cracks (as the tires had another 10K-12K treadlife). They informed me they have changed the formulation of the compounds and the dry rotting cracks should not be an issue.
Costco fills the tires with nitrogen and with the free rotate and balance, road hazard, etc., they are awesome. Picked up two nails after two weeks of have a full set and they replaced the entire tire for free.
If you watch Costco closely, you can get the $70 off deal (at checkout) in addition to their ONE CENT installation. Saves BIG money on great tires!
COMPARISON: Last set was Michelin MS's. The local tired store quoted $975 and then wanted another pound of cash for their "bronze, silver or gold warranty". That would have added another $250 (Bronze) to the purchase price.
GO MICHELIN and GO WITH COSTCO!!! You will never be disappointed! (Just make sure to get an alignment afterwards)
