So yesterday I ran into and issue where my front passenger tire started to leak a ton. I went to my nearest tire store which had the stock pirellis but it was like 2k out the door or something. I need to replace all 4 because my back two are worn and of course one of my good ones is the one that got the flat.
I decided that I wanted to move to 20s and grab a package from evsportline if these 21s were going to be that expensive every time and I was excited to. Would've been about 2900 out the door.
But then I found Costco and they had the defenders for 1627 out the door and ofc they come with the 5 year road hazard. So, logically I couldn't still get the 20s.
But.. when I got the call from Costco and brought in the truck, after I leave, they call me for the pucks.. in my mind I'm like they should def have the pucks. But this is my first run in with Rivian tire things and I look all over but only have Tesla pucks. They let me know if I can find some that I can bring them in to use.
So I reach out to rivian, they won't let me borrow or buy. And I reach out to discount tire (official partner of Rivian) and they surprisingly let me borrow some! Sweet right? I go across town pick up all 4 and head back to Costco. Then the dude is like, oh, we can't use that one. We need the magnetic one. Super annoying. Fair but super annoying.. had they told me they needed magnetic, I could've checked with discount tire beforehand lol but I was like okay, I'll just drive back across town and take these back.
While I was there, the discount tire guys shot their shot and told me they'd price match me. So I'm going with them. Luckily they included the protection and everything and I actually saved $10 bucks! Lol
So I'll probably just skip Costco next time but the best part is, they're going to do the mobile service in the Costco parking lot
Just figured I'd let y'all know and rant a bit.
I still wish I had F U money to get the evsportline kit. Oh well.
