Michelin builds tars here in the great state of Salkerlina so it ain't
all frogs makin em. I don't know if they build car tars up there, but I
know they build those monster off-road tars that are like 16ft diameter
and won't fit in a container, so they have containers with open tops
that they can get like 3 in. I guess they stack them on the top layer
on the ships, I always wonder if they have had any fall out. They have
to route the trucks hauling them down not the most direct way, to fit
under bridges I guess.

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.
