The manager did have to approve the tech's decision to put bigger tires on my westy, but he did, & they did w/o any hassle. Your mileage may vary, etc. I was going by the sign in the tire shop itself, I'll have to look at it more closely next time. Pax, Tom-always rotate tires at Costco so never only buy 2? |
