37" BFG Krawlers at Costco

[ThunderFlash]

This was a few weeks ago (I saw them August 23rd) and I am inexcusably late posting, but I was very shocked to see these BFG Krawler 37X12.5-R17 tires on display at Costco. They were gone the next time I came in....so maybe Costco will start having some meatier offerings for rubber. The tread depth is SOOOO impressive, they had to list it twice as a high light!

They've had 37's available to order for a while. Has anyone got them to install tires that aren't the size on your OEM vehicle?
I just wonder how much liability a company liked Costco would be prepared to take on if they aren't stock size?

So you think they'd put them on a Raptor but not a Sasquatch?

For a minute, I was considering KO3s in a 37 and I asked Costco about this. They told me they’d mount them if I brought in the wheels on their own but couldn’t if on the vehicle.

No doubt! I thought five $425-ish Baja Bosses was a bit of a gut punch.

Worth every other penny.

Right... Someone just said they do individuals off the vehicle. That's a lot of wheel to haul.

Ah good to know. I wonder how how that effects their warranty. It's pretty generous.

Those should eliminate all the Bronco wind noise complaints.....

LOL....probably resolve most of my squeaks and rattles, too. And in case you missed it, they have 22/32" tread depth!

Not sure but they’re not dummies to have an easy warranty process. My daughter has BLIZZAK winter tires on her Subaru we got at Costco. She took her car in last week to have them put on for the winter. I was checking the torque when she got home and, sure enough, 2 lug nuts were cross threaded and just spinning on the studs They (at least my local store) seem to be ugga-dugga happy when installing. Multiple nuts were torqued at almost 120 lb-ft vs. the recommended 89

Yeah, I tapped out when I saw that. And that's the Costco price. It will never be lower than that anywhere else. Oof.

Currently, I swap in my off-road tires before going on an off-road trip. With these, I'd need to trailer them to the off-road site. I can't imagine putting 500-800 street miles on tires like these just to use them off-road.

These tires probably don't come with a mileage warranty, so it probably just comes down to a road hazard warranty for a certain number of years. But definitely an interesting thing to find out for those ready to buy.
