$X 245/50WR17 Mich Pilot Sport A/S since the salesweasel at Costco says they will only install OEM sizes?

I bet they'll install most any tire you're willing to pay for.

Well just take them the size specs for the OEM tires and the specs for the Michelins and see what you can do. The 225 in MPS's are narrower than the stock Pirelli or GY's.

I think Discount Tire may match the price, plus they generally do good work.

Default Sadly, the closest America's Tire Co is in Redwood City, about 40 miles away.

Good idea, though.

Default Only 40 miles? Enjoy your allroad -- go out and drive every chance you get! :)

(Royalties are on their way to moto-one.)

Default costco ordered my 245's. installed no problem.

plus free rotation and balancing for the life of the tires. i'm sure it varies by location but the guys at my local costco are easy to deal with and do nice work.

Default Worth the drive to Discount/ Americas Tire- they match TireRack...

TR's price is $188 per tire. Most Discount Tire stores will match Tire Rack. Plus, I think I have more faith in a tire mounter from Discount, than i do Costco.

225 P/S are taller than OEM, 245/50/17 are a perfect fit plus a bit wider!
