My wife's 2013 Equinox LS needed new tires. Costco had a good price on these, 225/65R17, $539 including tax. Costco's rotation scheduling is not good, and I've been happy with Discount Tire, so with a visit, they came within $6.00 of Costco; bought at Discount Tire! They are fresh, 29th week of 2020.
Quick easy installation. Invoice says 35 psi, matching vehicle label. Took off on a quick trip to a state park the next morning ... looked on the dash display, warm tires are 34, 37, 39, 31. OOPS, 2 leakers? Next morning, same differences (about 2 psi lower, 60 degree night) I don't carry a compressor, but decided they were safe so continued without getting air. Differences remained the same for the 3 day trip.
3 days later at home, cool ... my gauge matches the 1st pressures, but different locations ... no leak, but not equal pressures, TPMS apparently weren't reset.
After about 500 miles, tires ride smoothly, had no problems with several hurricane remnants in NC foothills. We don't see the need for 3PMS but it supposedly helps wet traction, and the "mileage warranty" is pretty good; It MIGHT snow in Greenville SC, but our intention is to stay home if and when it does.
I'm a little frustrated with the Discount Tire installation missing pressure setting and TPMS resetting. I fixed the pressure problem, and will stop by there when it is convenient if they do reset, as I think they do.
(Oh, no mention of DOT number registration nor numbers on the invoice; previously, I had to do that, but the installer gave me a form ... is it automatic now?)
