E30 Recommended Costco Tires?

[Ramadeus]

Hi I am planning to purchase set of tire from Costco and unfortunately, Costco doesn't have 205/55/15 as recommended OEM Size.

They do have 195/60/15 and 195/65/15 at their store.

If I have to choose in between them, what would be my best course of action?

Thank you

195/60R15 is the closest to stock size.

do they have a 205/50? the thing about Costco is they won't usually let you run a different size than what their computer says. It's basically a "tires for dummies" store, you'd better not be using your brain, because it caters to people who drive Toyotas. I only go there for winter tires, especially at the Bellingham store - it's such a pain in the ass to go there, and their customer service is so poor, the savings isn't worth it. I'd recommend Les Schwab in Ferndale or Discount Tire in Bellingham instead. You'll get way better service and selection (Costco also has pretty poor tire selection, especially for an E30).

Seriously, every time I go there I get horrible service. I was turned away because I had studs (they wanted to pull them out and put in bolts, uhm, no, fuck off). 3 of 4 wheels on my wife's car were so out of balance she was afraid to drive it. They took 3 days to mount a set of tires to my winter wheels. Never return calls... etc. etc. Costco's tire department basically sucks.. the only thing good are the prices.
