Got them at Costco because I’m dull.

But on the way home my car went into limp mode with a check engine light and a computer error light.

Called Costco and they said “we just did the tires” but when I reset the system by disconnecting the battery the traction control, power steering, and tire pressure lights came on.

And it’s still in limp mode.

Taking her to my guy later today.

Thanks Costco.

ETA: Turns out my coil packs and spark plugs went bad, it was just a coincidence that it happened after the tires.

ETA II: My guy said the spark plugs were all the wrong kind.

    Some cars should never get higher octane fuels. Like some cars should only ever get 87 and no higher.

    Theres no benefit to using “premium” gas in a car that doesn’t require it. Higher octane prevents dieseling in a high compression engine. It does nothing in a regular engine, it’s just an additional additive you don’t need.
