Costco's & BFG 255/55 KDW2

merc said:
Since the subject is about Costco and 255/55/18 BFG tires. Hear is the hint. Since they sell the tire specified in this tread, all that is needed is to find the car that is specified for resale. They also sell BFG drag radials. What car uses drag radials for O.E.M. shoes. The point is if you want to purchase from Costco it will be tricky to navigate through corporate ignorance, but it can be done.

Good point. What car does use the 255/55/r18?

Also how do you get Costco to then install them on your MM?
Just take the wheels in and have the mounted and ballanced.
Wouldn't that defeat:

Lifetime balancing
Lifetime rotation
Lifetime flat repair
Lifetime air pressure checks
Costco Wholesale's road hazard warranty

I am new to Costco so I really don't know what their policy's are.
 
According to Costco.com the Porsche Truck/Cayenne Turbo AWD uses a 255/55R18 109Y Standard Tire, but they don't offer a selection. I will check with the counter guy and see what their in store database brings up.

IF you can get them through Costco and installed at Costco it's the way to go - for that price for the tires and only $10/tire for mounting and balancing it's the way to go. I paid well over $100 for mounting and balancing my KDW2's at a local shop plus TireRack shipping.

IF Costco was easier my oh my that'd be the best choice, hopefully there is a workaround and if so I will remember that for next time.
 
Costco is the way to go IMO. :D Good treatment and never a hassel on road hazzard. Modern equipment with no damage to alu. wheels.
The also torque the lug nuts to spec.

You can order online, but when you arrive with your Marauder and ask them to install them you are going to have problems.

I Guess that that info still helps those who just want to "order" them and get them installed else where.

I would contact the local tire center and create a relationship. As long as you purchase the tire from Costco they usually don't care what car you put them on. As a reminder they sell and can special order BGF Drag Radials. A agreement can be made for anything, the reality is you can purchase the desired tire and have them mounted by Costco. Ask me how I know !
