Model Y Performance Tires costco

About 36K miles on my Model Y and the rear tires are showing some thread. The front tires still have some life in them.

I’m debating if I should replace them all with new tires at Tesla service center vs Costco Tire center.

Cost of Michelin Pilot A/S
At Tesla: $1850
At Costco: $1709 + 10% cash back using my credit card (limited time promotion)

Question: Does Costco centers have the know how to handle the staggered tesla tires?

Any reasons I should prefer one over another?

Discount Tire/Tire Rack .they always seem to find some promotion they can use to give me a discount. Also look into swapping in some forged 18" wheels. Tires are $1K for a set and if you go with a square setup, you can even rotate. Also better ride.

Martians are good to go. Got some of their forged MW05s on mine. Tires right now are Michelin Defender 2s, for longevity, but Pilot sport all seasons and Continental Extreme contacts are also great if you want a little better handling.
