Anyone know if there’s a catch with this company ? It has Costco in the link but the webpage is a different address

I found it at the very top via Google

It’s just that these tyres are usually around £200 each so £60 seems too good to be true , or am I missing something ? Thanks

Fake.

Surprised you even needed to ask!

What was the exact search term that brought that up...and what browser/extensions are you running? If I search for "Cooper Tire Cobra Radial GT" on google, the first 203 pages are all either CooperTire or known tyre retailers.

If you have to ask…

It’s a website masquerading as Costco.
It’s a scam.

It looks a bit dodgy to me.

Costco, but not in the URL.

Tires, not tyres.

"Free shipping in the continental UK" Whoever calls it that?

I wouldn't!

If I use the same search phrase...



...so that suggests something is interfering/injecting itself into your search results.

Given how many topics on this you have started, I’d say you are actively pushing this scam link up the search results.

In the last hot weather about 2 or 3 weeks ago I bought a garden kids pool from that website.
It arrived in a few days was as described and a bargain.

I sat in it a few weeks ago ,my grandson would not get in as it was too deep.

It was probably on one of the other threads you replied to which got deleted by admin

I only posted one thread but for some reason 3 showed up on the feed

Same with replies my replies seem to multiply lol

Maybe I’m pressing the submit button too many times

Do you mean the proper Costco website?

The one linked (it's gone now) is fake.
