I just replaced tires on my truck. First shop I visited would only replace with the factory stock tire size, stating liability issues. The next shop I visited and bought tires from put on the size I wanted, no questions asked. I was only going up one tire size, one load range up as well. Far as I can tell I put on a better tire, so what "Liability" issue would there be. First time I encountered this, I'm always changing to a slightly larger tire on my rides. JMHO.

I am not a lawyer, but I have meet some very sharp ones in my time - and those can convince Eskimos to buy refrigerators.

This would be all about following procedure. As an expert on the subject, I can make a very convincing argument - and I can argue the opposite. The lawyer's job is to convince a jury (or a judge) that doing something non-standard causes issues. Not hard to do.

I'm not going to disagree with you as I know these things are different in the U.S. Up here in the "Great White north' these things couldn't be further from our minds. It's just a cultural difference really. I put a higher rated tire on so that's an improvement over factory stock which makes it even safer. Safer, better tires, I think a lawyer, any lawyer would have a hard time convincing a court that what I did was bad. Believe me, I sleep very soundly at night. By the way, we don't use the term "Eskimos" any more they are referred to as "Inuit". Just Sayin.
