    Aloha gang,

    I have a brand new set of SCS F5s being delivered today. Planned on going to Costco and doing everything there - 265/70/17 KO2s, install, mount, balance, TPMS, etc.

    Do you guys have good experience with tire installs there, specifically with care & handling aftermarket wheels? SCS cautioned against Costco due to reports of techs scratching and damaging wheels. IMM and AMP quoted ~ $500-700; Costco wants $240ish. I trust the guys at IMM but trying to keep costs down..

    Open to suggestions!

    mahalo! Forgot to say I’m on Maui so yea Kahului Costco. I spoke with them on the phone, seemed pretty genuine in talking to to techs to make sure it’s handled well.

    also reached out to Discount Tire & Wheels but haven’t heard back yet

    In all honesty it really depends on the Tech that works on your Wheels. Every place has their good techs and their bad ones.
