theres a catch with cosco around here they WILL NOT INSTALL a tire larger then stock size on a truck AT ALL.

BUT there is a way around this just dismount the wheels and take them up there or take in your new wheels and dont tell them what there going on LOL i love it!

I ordered the 33" BFG M/T on the internet
about a week later I got a notice they had arrived at my local COSTCO
brought in my new set of ALCOAS - they removed my stock 31" BFG A/T
mounted and balanced my new 33" M/T on the extra set of ALCOAS and put them on the truck
all of the tires are filled with nitrogen at COSTCO - no charge (this can cost up to $5 a tire at other shops)
I did clear the bigger tires with the manager before I ordered them
got there an had a mature adult 'conversation' with the installers
everyone got a nice ICL cap when I left the shop

Was the 'conversation' about the oversized tires? Or was it just BS'ing?

so you ran into the same little gag they try over here with the cant install larger then stock thing? because one manager started yelling at me saying there is no way my tires will fit nor will they mount them and it will make my truck unsafe i just about laughed my *** off when he sayed it then pionted to my truck which was sitting on the 265x75x16 coppers at the time LOL
