I called Costco to see if they had Michelin tires to fit and were compatible. He could get some in the proper size that were some other name but probably pretty much the same. He asked what car they were for and the conversation got into some whole other dimension about they had to go on the rear not the front and a bunch of stuff about the speed ratings and load ratings and what not, which I knew about from when I bought these tires a few years ago. Anyway he would have to order them and it would take a week or two and then a bunch of other extraneous nonsense again about bringing the car in etc. And the Michelin deal is only for 4 tires and it expires in a day or two and these were going to be some huge price anyway.
Maybe I should Just buy some of those cheepcheep Asian things. Or I guess I could check around see if I could find the Michelins somewhere else. What a PITA. --R Sent from iPhone > On Mar 2, 2018, at 7:44 PM, clay monroe via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Most stores no longer carry the small tires.
