Hmmmm Maybe the Michelin frogs discontinued the practice and made
everyone sell real michelins. Last I knew wally and dead sam other
brands only had warranty at their stores.

Just checked with Costco.
Bzzzt!! Wrong! Unless you buy a branded tire (Kirkland?) made
specifically for the warehouse, the brand name tires are identical to
the same name tire sold elsewhere. Also, the warranty booklet says you
can have the tire repaired or replaced by any Michelin approved tire
shop. No exclusivity to Costco.
Just to be sure I got the SKU for my tire and was able to find the
exact same tire using the SKU on Tire Rack and elsewhere.
Nearly every online reference I saw to the subject was at least five
years old. Even Consumer Reports dismissed it.
