Costco has smart lawyers that will not allow you to fit tires that are
not specifically pass the buck able. If there were to be issue, some
liberal whiner would then sue costco. Best to protect the liberals
from themselves as part of corporate policy.

Thanks for the link (worked for me) -- BTW, while at Costco I was
checking
tire prices in my size 195/65-15 (91 300D) and he said they now only
carry
Michelin ($120) and BF Goodrich ($78) - they used to carry many more
brands - I asked about going with a 60 aspect ratio and he pulled one
of
each size so I could see the difference. Then, he said, we are only
allowed
to install the size specified by the manufacturer - which for me is the
195/65-15.
Since when did we need a mandate to tell us what tires to use? Were
there
stupid people trying to fit 145/80/14s to a 560SEL? And they sued
someone
when they didn;t quite work out?
Our politicians must have entirely too much time on their hands if
this is
the kind of stuff they're debating. IMHO of course.
Or, is this another one of those laws to protect the vast population of
truely stupid people? or is that stooopid?
Talk about the dumbing down of the population --- maybe I'm being too
picky -

Subject: [MBZ] Tire size calculator
Since the subject of changing to non-original tire sizes comes up from
time
to time, here's a website that will be useful.

An "unsigned post" so that Marshall doesn't have to respond.
