Default Tire Sales

So, I have been purchasing tires from Sams Club recently, due to the price and extra service that they have. Looking at tires for my 2500 Chevy. Talked to them again about prices and they stat that they will not sell them to me because it is 7% over on tire size from stock. Any other places doing this? Really like buying from them, but they are loosing a sell from me.

Seems like I could sign a waiver or something. Hmmm

They will only install what mfr posts on the door sticker, orig equip replacement. Costco does this as well. We have not been able to get around it in out area, or up in NJ. I even asked if I brought all 4 wheels to them, but no go.

They tried to claim breaking performance issues and I told them that since I still have the original pads on there with 205000 miles I think my brakes are ok.

Liability, people blaming others, lawsuits etc.

Even BMW and others wont take trade ins unless mfg wheels are put back on.

A little off subject but still viable..I resell 20-30 golf carts a year...in 2012 some bean-counter decides that they are not going to install rear shocks on any Ezgo cart and still dont since....1000's of these out there without rear shocks now...and guess what my attorney friend said about me reselling these carts especially lifted ones......Yeah u can imagine.....yes they all leave with shocks!! And as a side note these carts all have the brackets for shocks...just looks to anybody looking at them like shocks were left off...thats the big factor in court of law..........jim
