Do you mean the new BFG MTs? the BFG AT-KO have been out a few years (long enough to us to buy 2 sets)..
One problem with Costco.. Most won't install bigger than stock size (actually, anything different than what the piece of paper corporate gave them) on an Explorer.
We use Discount Tire. I've had 1 shop say they won't install it, I called the Discount Corporate office, they called the shop.. and then they did it. Discount corporate policy is to not install Passengar car tires.. period. if it fits.. sell it/ mount it.

They installed my 33's and my 35's. If they sell them they will install. Just ask to talk to a manager.

They have always carried BFG MT but they stopped carrying the BFG AT KO when it was redesigned - something about the price guaranty, so for the longest time people have to buy the AT KOs from other tire stores, until now.
Yeah, the store will not install the larger tires on a "stock" Explorer. If you have a lifted vehicle then it's not a problem because chances are you already have the large tires on it and they are just replacing the ones that are on your vehicle.
