Will Costco install tires bought somewhere else?
Policy checked Oct 21, 2026
No. Costco says its Tire Centers will only install Costco-purchased tires, and it will not service tires bought by non-members. Online-bought tires from another store need a different shop.

What to do instead
- Already bought tires online? Look up your city page for shops that publish install prices.
- Still shopping? If you want Costco to install them, buy from Costco (in the warehouse or on Costco.com, shipped to your warehouse) with a membership.
- Bringing tires elsewhere? Call ahead and ask for the per-tire price for mounting and balancing, plus valve stems, TPMS kit, disposal and any shop fee.
