Apparently my factory alignment was shit, and the tires are already up for replacement. The workshop I went to gives me three options. Please let me know if the prices look good, and which among the three would be the best choice.

  1. KENDA - 235/60R18 XL VEZDA TOURING 4S (KR211)

    • Good (according to the workshop)
    • $148 each, $724.67 total, $100 extra for alignment
    • 60,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
  2. BRIDGESTONE - 235/60R18 XL ALENZA AS ULTRA

    • Better
    • $259 each, $1256.14 total, $100 extra for alignment
    • 80,000 mile limited treadwear warranty
  3. YOKOHAMA - 235/60R18 AVID ASCEND LX

    • Best
    • $224 each, $1088.56 total, $100 extra for alignment
    • 85,000 mile limited treadwear warranty

Please recommend which one of these is a better set of tires, or if you have a better recommendation elsewhere.

Thanks!

    Costco is fine.

    I have alternated between Costco and TireRack over the last few cars, mostly depending on my mood of the day.

    For “my” car, I like to read the reviews and choose online at TR, and have them shipped to my mechanic for install.

    For the others, an instant rebate sale at Costco on a set of Michelins is a no-brainer.

    Edit to add: I misread “price” as “place” so the above is not “the answer” to your question.

    I did briefly poke discount tire with the Yokohama tire from your list, and the cost is essentially same as your quote - just north of $1K without their extra warranty.
