I called my local Costco to ask about these tires and was told by the tire
center guy that the only load range C tires that they had that were also M+S
rated were Michelin LXT's. Are those Kirklands M+S rated? Life here in
Chicago without mud and snow rated tires is a real bummer this time of year.
