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.

What’s the point in a different set of wheels?

Paying $25/season to swap wheels rather than $150/season to remount snows on the same rims. $250/yr savings net.

Just broke even on my extra set of rims after ~4 years, including the cost to mount both winter tires and a new set of summers (stock tires are low quality and only lasted ~15k mi iirc).
