Update
Talked to manager at my local Discount Tire and told him about the tire/rim combination not being compatible. I told him his employee looked up my car/the tire and told me it was compatible but per the mfg tire specs the 275 Bridgestone is not compatible with a 7" rim.
He had the...
Exactly... odds are nothing would ever happen because of the tires but if it did I'd be screwed for having an "unapproved" tire. Not worth it, especially with other tire options.
I know i just looked at Bridgestone web site and saw the same thing. I am amazed that people who are supposedly in the "know" such as the dealer and a reputable tire company would install an unapproved tire/wheel combination. Discount Tire looked up my car & on their system and told me yes...
