Subject:Tires (Tyres) from COSTCO?

I wouldn't let any of the big box monkeys anywhere near my vehicle. Bet you
a dollar they warp your brake discs. Torque? What's that? They'll just pick
a lug nut, thread it on, crank it up until the air hammer socket quits
tightening it, and procede to thread on and tighten the one next to it . . .
.
Gradual torque in a criss-cross pattern will prevent warped discs. But they
don't have the time for that, and maybe they have a store policy against it
. . . .
However, I had great service at NTB (Sears) - they were local and could get
my Westy tires.
