I was going to purchase tires from TireRack after exhausting most major outlets looking for the best price and installation package. At the last moment I stopped in and asked at Sams what they offer. The deal is identical to Tire Rack and adds free lifetime rotations. Today they do not charge for installation - that is a $60.00 savings over Tire Rack not including the free rotations (and balances ) for the life of the car.
I got an exhaustive quote from Tire Rack - includes balancing, installation, TPMS relearn, minimal TPMS rebuild if needed, no extra for weights, and for a Continental Pure Contact 235/45-R18 at $163.95 ea and then went to Sams and they matched the $163. 95 per tire and no charge for the installation, lifetime balance and Rotations.
TireRack: $762.71 no lifetime rotations or balances. (IN tax @ 7%?)
Sams: 691.87 plus tax out the door. (WI tax @ 5.5%)
Sams expects a place to match service for service so I let them read what TireRack offered and kept my mouth shut and let them decide to match or not.
