Buying your car tires at Costco comes with perks like lifetime maintenance

Many people depend on the low prices and bulk packages for essentials like beer and bacon. Adding car tires to your shopping list makes sense.

There are a lot of perks at the membership-only wholesale superstore. The Tire Center at the store offers a number of advantages over other tire retailers.

Lifetime maintenance services are offered when you buy tires and an Installation Package from the same store. There are tire balancing, tire rotation, and inflation pressure checks. It can be expensive to fix a flat.

There is a guarantee of no additional shipping and handling costs for purchases made at the Tire Center. Online or in a store, members can purchase their tires. New tires can be inflated with nitrogen, which can help them retain their pressure. This improves fuel economy.

The rest of a member's car can be purchased through the auto program. It sells gas as well.

The cost of a standard membership is $60 a year, while an executive membership costs $120.
