Here's the TL;DR:
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.

- Free installation: If you buy your new tires at Costco, installation is completely free. Boom! That's like finding a twenty in your old jeans. Score!
- Seasonal tire swap: Thinking of switching between your summer and winter tires? If those bad boys are already on rims (fancy way of saying wheels), Costco will swap them for a reasonable $45. Not bad for the peace of mind of conquering snowy roads or scorching highways.
- Didn't buy your tires at Costco? We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but you won't get the free installation perk. However, Costco will still change your tires for a fee. The exact cost can vary depending on your location and the size of the tires, but expect it to be somewhere in the ballpark of $60-$75.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There Almost Always Is)
- Costco whispers: It's always a good idea to call your local Costco tire center directly to confirm the exact pricing. Remember, knowledge is power, and knowing the exact cost can prevent sticker shock (unless you're actually getting new stickers for your rims, that is).
