    <snip> Michelin do the costco training. I can't see them agreeing with this 6mm daftness.

    Unless Costco are trying to sell you Michelin tyres. :)

    Replace tyres when they get to 6mm?

    They only have 8mm new!

    Costco are B2B so they can use any sales tactic they like. However I have never had any silly demands when I have to get tyres from them, is this a new policy?

    Cosco do sell to the public not only B2B (business to business)

    The MOT min limit is 1.6mm, so it's not illegal to have more than that (though for safety you might want to think about changing tyres well before 1.6mm), but 6mm has plenty left.
    Hoping this year is better than the last. :)

    Yes, two tyres that need replacing on the same axle.

    I replace tyres long before legal limit. I will not be using Costco.
    Bwaaaaaaahhhhhh:rotfl:

    Tell them the other two are none of their business!

    I think you misheard and they actually said 1.6mm.
