Seeking Advice on Run Flat Tires at Costco

I’ve been doing some research on tires lately and came across the idea of run flat tires. They seem like a great option for added safety and peace of mind since you can still drive on them even when they have a puncture.

However, I’m wondering if Costco carries these types of tires? I know they have a great selection of tires in general, but I want to be sure before I make a trip there. Here are a few details that might help:

  • Vehicle Type: I drive a sedan and I’m looking specifically for run flat options that fit my car.
  • Purpose: I’m looking for reliable and safe solutions since I often drive long distances.

It would be super helpful if anyone has experience with purchasing run flat tires from Costco.

Things I’m Curious About:

  • Availability: Do you know if Costco typically stocks run flat tires?
  • Pricing: If you’ve seen them there, how do the prices compare to other retailers?
  • Quality: Are there any brands you would recommend that are available at Costco?

I’d really appreciate any insights or advice you can share. Thanks in advance for your help!
