On 4/29/11 we did some tire shopping at our local(San Antonio) Sam's Club & Costco. This time we're purchasing 8 tires for a 2000 Signature. Its heaviest loaded axle is the steer, 13K #s.
I found that both have good prices, but availability is limited. Also, neither company mounts, balances, or installs 22.5 tires. Costco sells Michelin, Bridgestone/Firestone. Sam's Club sells Michelin, Goodyear/Dunlop.
Costco: in stock @ warehouse
2 Michelin XZA2 295/80-22.5 H rated = $513ea + local tax.
6 Michelin XZA3 11R-22.5 G rated = $472ea + local tax.
2 Firestone FS507 11R-22.5 H rated = $432ea + local tax.
6 Firestone FS507 11R-22.5 G rated = $410ea + local tax.
Sam's Club: in stock @ warehouse
8 Dunlop SP160 11R-22.5 H rated = $330ea + local tax.
Availability unknown on the following?
Dunlop SP160 295/75-22.5 G rated = $324ea
Michelin XZE2 11R-22.5 G rated = $476ea
Michelin XZA3 11R-22.5 G rated = $494ea

We ended up buying from Sam's Club 8 Dunlop all position SP160 H rated 11R-22.5s. They both call a warehouse for availability. Sam's Club special orders them after you hand over your $$$.

We had a mobile truck tire service mount and spin balance the new tires on the coach in exchange for our old tires.
We hope this helps
