That was the tire size that came with the optional 17" wheels on the Subaru WRX through 2004.

CostCo for tires?

They offer the best service! I ordered tires for my truck a few mos. ago and paid for them to be install in advance. When the tires came in a few days later. I took the truck in with the new rims in the back. They would not intsall them on the truck! They did however in install them on the rims. They would not mount then on the truck! One of the employees told me that the Corp. crack down on all the stores. (Insurance & Lawyers) I would check with the store to make sure.

Good luck,

Does Cosco have tire for the MCS? I have 17" wheels and just started looking for my replacement. Any suggestions?

I believe I decided on the G-force sports from tire-rack. Even with the $60 Cosco discount, after taxes with their higher prices, tire-rack beats them by about $40.

Just a side discovery from this topic. In the Costco "Auto" main page, they use a snap shot of the interior of a MINI with a TomTom for its GPS category link ... here
