I am going to “go out on a limb” here and bet that their insurance company/legal team requires them to double and triple check tire sizes.

+1 to the insurance thing. I got the same thing when I went -1 size for snows on my GTO.

After explaining things to the rep, he sent them out that day.

I agree with this, and can see where they are coming from, but shouldn’t they just allow me to order them without selecting a vehicle or have a check box for these are not the original size.

Shockingly, I’m going to have to side against the W-Body owner here. There isn’t a “TGP”. It’s just a Grand Prix modified by McLaren with a turbo.

So in saying that, why would you even say TGP? They take the same tires as a GP.

As a paying customer, you have every right to complain. But you wouldn’t have to if you didn’t specify the car you’re purchasing the tires for.

Lesson learned, maybe?

Did nobody read the part were I tried to specify no vehicle and it would not let me get to the “payment type” screen without adding the vehicle.

Yes, you are an idiot. :picard:  
The GP’s came in at least 3 different tire sizes in the years the TGP was made. LE’s 205/65-15 – SE’s 215/60-16 – and for the TGP 245/50-16. Why should the web site not offer that size.
