most tyre shops re gonna look at u weird, mostly because that size of tyre is not the factory size of your zook
same happen when I ask in a couple of shops about some 215/75/r15 for my jimny.... the first question they askme was "for what car its?".... I told them for my jimny... they look at me like like weird like if I didnt knew the correct size for my car..... I had to tell them that I knew It was bigger, that's wht I wanted to be, and Im fitting a 2" lift so wont be a problem blah blah.... bit irrelevant as the question should be "wht size of rim re u running" to see if the tyre fits or not
same when I ask them about alloys wheels options for the jimny.... I told them.. sorry I "try" to tell them I was looking for options in the 15x7 in 5x139.7 .... and they keep asking wht car ti was.... I told them jimny, but the stud patern for them was blah blah they kinda dnt pay attention..... got a call few days latter to tell me that for the jimny they only have one model.. I search for it in internet and that model doesnt come in the correct stud pattern for jimny  
its up to u to know the consequences and requirements for fitting a lager tyre in your zook (lift, gearing, castor correction ect).... they re just doing their jobs at telling u thats a wrong size for u car (as its nto the factory size).... but at the end they re there to sell tyres... u want 235/xx/xx... they must sell u that... just explain to them u have done ur research about it

) but said that's a lot of tyre on a little Vitara and the steering would be heavy. Anyway, are running these width tyres really gunna be an issue with the steering? Or are they just panicing 'cause they're use to fitting little girly tyres on most Vitara's that come in there? 
They said they'd do it no probs, just looked at me like I had two heads...
. The KL 71's were dearer again.
