    BUT, installing them - going to do it yourself? price for having installed? I got Michelin X-Radial DT at Costco but had a $80 coupon total cost $396.

    Those are excellent tires, btw.
    I am AMAZED at how well they just cut through standing water on the highway... no drag.

    Worth the full retail price, and a discount is always good!

    I believe they have an additional $100. off if you buy a set of 4 wheels. I don't know whether this applies to snows and steel wheels, likely not, since their price for steels is $39. each.

    Just got home from Costco to repl OEM with 48k miles; with the Mich X, but went instead with BFG Touring T/A -- Person at Costco told me 195/60/R15 was near eqivalent to 185/65/R15 on my 2006 Prius. Reason was cost after $40 rebate (Mich's have $60) being about $280 for those tires with 60k warranty vs the Mich 80k warranty would have been about $420. Plus Costco person said the BFG would out handle the Michs's. I can tell already, they are waaayyyy better than the stock tires.
