With a Costco membership, you can get 4 of these tyres at $765 installed. However, even without one, it sounds like Bob Jane should price beat down to $750 based on their price match policy. Costco price is here: https://www.costco.com.au/Tyres-Automotive/Tyres/Bridgestone…
I uploaded a screenshot as you need to have a membership just to see the price.
What tyre size as price varies. Costco throws in complementary nitrogen, rotations and wheel balances on the life of 4 tyres.
complementary nitrogen, rotations and wheel balances - when can I do this? I got 4 tyres fitted on Feb at Costco
Standard with every set of tyres purchased from Costco!
How do you book tyre rotation and wheel balance after? U have to call or just walk in?
Out of respect for the business and your own time I would suggest calling and booking whenever you want to do something like this.
You need to make a booking, they get really busy (depend on the store)
That is a solid part of the deal, I never knew that. My last tyres on my Prado (not from Costco) lasted 110k kms (and still had life when the car was no more). I would do a 5 tyre rotation every 10k kms. It cost about 140ish to rotate them every time, so I reckon I spent around 1400 rotating the tyres over their life! They cost about 2800 all up and lasted ages because of the rotation and balancing, but cutting out that cost would be nice!
I think Costco considers 5 years as the life of the tyre.
Wait a couple months for mycars black Sunday
wait for their website to crash?
website dies but can get it all sorted no problem through phone customers service
ah yes, the numbers that tell you to go online.. lol
More expensive on Bridgestone website.
Can you do the same from costco for 245/45 X 18?
So I can look for a price match.
Thanks
It'll be $831 installed
Thanks - any chance of a screenshot?
Sorry for asking - I'm not a member of Costco.
Once you hit checkout, the install costs will be added at $19.99 per tyre. May be try it and then update the deal?
On checkout page, price does not seem to increase from $765 while proceeding to payment
Just checke and you are right.. I think the system is doing something weird. They do clearly mention that "An additional $19.99 inc GST fitting charge per tyre will be added to your basket at checkout."
I have previously bought tyres and the charge was applied at checkout. Not sure if they would ask for install charges to be paid at the time of installation as the cart only includes tyre price.
In the OP's screenshot it says "Tyre warehouse pickup" - is there an option before this final screen to just buy the tyres without fitting?
@howcan: No there is no such option and previously the fitting charge was applied automatically on the checkout page and an option provided to remove it (tick box). Its no more there :-/
Dont have 215/45R18 93W
Isn't this what most tyre retailers are doing at the moment - buy 3 get one free?
Sweet deal! Was actually scheduled in to get my front 2 changed to Pilotsport 5 for $550 but might as well get all corners changed for $702. Waiting on the call back from my local bob jane to see if they can price beat it
One of those decisions in life you will regret, the Bridgestones aren’t the same performance wise as the Michelin Ps5 !
Pilot sports are a better tyre than the RE003. Havae had both pilot sport 4 and RE003 before, dry performance there isnt too much difference. However, wet performance the Michelin is much better.
So what you're saying is get the Bridgestones for skids in the wet. Got it.
No skids, no grip at all in the wet. They are very disappointing for a premium tyre. After making the mistake I will never buy Bridgestone again
Very cheap for 195/50R15s as well, $507
Just a heads up if anyone is looking for "sport" tyres… perhaps take a look at Dunlop SP FM800. [If you're in Sydney, the cheapest should be Tempe Tyres… but I've price matched at Bob Janes before]
I found them to be much cheaper and in my opinion much better compared to the Bridgestone RE003. According to reviews/testing they're 3% less grippier in the dry but are superior in pretty much every other category including wet grip, wear, and comfort.
Take a look at the reviews for yourself and be the judge:

The ratings you are supplying are not comparable results as far as I'm aware. These are user ratings…..
Hmmm, I guess take it with a pinch of salt then. But I mean like I've got them and they grip real good and I'll certainly buy them again.
I would always go the more performance oriented tyre, everytime. At what point do you want less performance out of a tyre? Only if you want it to last longer.
Assuming since you said they are better than RE003, you have used them?
Have just replaced two Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plusses with these Dunlops. Definitely better wet grip and overall comfort with the new tyres.
very good tyre but not in the same category as the re003. PS5/4 are the comparable for a re003 (and absolutely destroy it as well)
Re003 are sport (enthusiast driving) oriented and the FM800 are touring (albeit on the sporty side).
If you aren'nt doing twisties in the dry in a compact sports car, then the FM800 will be the better choice.
I would agree, I reckon the FM800's would be good for someone who wants to give it some oomph here and there but don't want to shell out track grade tyres.
Dunlop must have stepped up their game then.
My last set of Dunlops were in 2014. Quiet but scary bad for grip. Hardly wore at all, so hard compound.
Mind you, that was on a V8 car, maybe good for an SUV etc.
I'm pretty sure the model of the tyre has alot to do with how grippy it is too.
So true. Mine were Direzza DZ702. Memorably bad but sold as Sports Performance.
The OEM on XR6 Falcons were Dunlop Sport type as well. Also bad.
Was looking for 235 35 19s. Either these or Kuhmo p71
Deal applies to Potenza sport as well

note "An additional $19.99 inc GST fitting charge per tyre will be added to your basket at checkout."
Good price, horrible tyre.
Can anyone please check the price for me for size 4x 235/50 R18 97? Thanks.
Original Sell Price $1,344.00
Discount Amount $336.00
Total payment $1,008.00
Thank you
Will Bob Jane price beat Tempe tyres?
I went to the Bankstown one last year and they certainly did. I asked them over the phone first though. Went in and they honoured it.
tried to get a quote for 245/40/18 for my forged wheels, local Costco manager mocked me saying it's ILLEGAL to get wheels wider than stock one and refused to supply me lol.
then mocked my wheel supplier and what not saying they didnt do their homework bla bla bla
they're cheap doesn't mean they're well informed.
Just out of curiousity, what is the stock wheel width of your car, and what is the width of your forged wheels?
Bridgestone vs ling longs, which are around 300 for 4 tyres…
I purchased my car 2nd hand awd 5 years ago and haven't changed tyres yet, tyre store said I have another 3 months of wear easy the other month. cheap chinese rubber
will these get me a solid 10 years?
does anyone know if they checked the membership card when installing the tyre? for example can someone purchase the tyres using my costco login online and bring their car in without my membership to get it installed?
Just get a membership and immediately refund it after the tires are fitted. You have to wait six months to get a membership again though
I have got Bob Jane to price beat Costco the last 2 times I needed tyres. Just print out the Costco price and take it in.
