What are your experiences with Costco Tires Shops installing tires other than manufacturer specified? Want to replace the P265 65 17 Hankook ATM's with some P265 70 17's and they wouldn't do it. Is this a hard and fast rule or is it up to the discretion of the manager? Samsclub had me sign off on going a couple sizes up on my leveled Duramax and it was no problem.

Iā€™ve never heard of anyone able to upsize at Costco around here, all they would allow to install is factory size.

As usual, I am a trouble maker.

Costco installed my 255/70/18 BFG KO2 tires on factory BAP wheels, with the assistant manager just asking me if I knew I had ordered larger tires.

I even ordered them in the store.

I'm sure Costco is just covering themselves in case there's any pre-mature wear on any other parts due to the larger tires. They have a very open return policy on almost everything in their store,heck someone even returned a real Christmas tree and got their money back. lol Fixing ones front end is going to cost them a whole lot more than just a few general in store returned items so I can see why they do this.

One way around this would be to pull your wheels off your truck and take them to Costco. Then all Costco would be doing is installing tires on wheels , not tires on your truck.
