Be careful of the load range on those tires - I think they are "mere" passenger tires. I checked Costco three times and the only tires they had in our size and load range was a "Kirkland Signature" tire (made by Uniroyal) for about $50. Needless to say, I spent the $600 on BFG All Terrains at a tire shop... Brent Christensen '89 GL Syncro Westy Santa Barbara, CA
