GMS is usually only for GM employees. It is a little bit below the invoice price the dealer gets but in these trying times there are dealers who are willing to sell at this price to anyone. There has also been a couple times that GM has extended this price to the general public. The dealers invoice will show this price. Being that this is a brand new vehicle that seems to have a lot of people wanting them I don't know how close you can come but at least it gives you something to shoot for. Also remember that the dealer gets a rebate of I hear 3% on all vehicles he sells at either the end of the year or quarterly. So if he sells it to you at his cost he still will get money on it at some point. Also we have to remember, he is in business to make money, not lose money as he has a lot of employees depending on him so offer him a fair price and go from there. Remember one more thing you can buy from any dealer and still take it to your neighborhood dealer for work but don't expect him to step up to the plate and fight for you if something questionable comes up since he will remember you bought elsewhere.

My Equinox has 33,000 miles and still on the original tires "Bridgestone Dueler".
How many miles did you do with your originals?

Equinox tire size

Why don't all the Equinox come with the same size of tires?
What are the advantages of getting the 18's or 17's tires option rather than the 16 inches?

Why don't all Equinox come in just one color. Answer that and you will have answered your own question.

I'm not sure you can say a white car has much of an advantage over a black one. Maybe in Vegas. Tires would affect ride and handling more than color choice.
We're talking handling, ride, tread wear, etc. If you use "a tire with a shorter sidewall, you gain quickness in steering response and better lateral stability. The visual appeal is obvious, most wheels look better than the sidewall of the tire, so the more wheel and less sidewall there is, the better it looks." TireRack
The bigger sizes fill up the wheel well "better" and you may like the look. But the handling and ride characteristics may change. As will the replacement costs.
Check out Tires, tires, tires too. This post by tireguy was a classic.

I never said anything about a white car. The orginal question was why do they offer different size tires which is the same as why do they offer different colors. Answer is because not everyone likes the same color or not everyone likes the same size tires for some of the reasons you stated. I would guess the reason we have different options for things is because manufacturers want as much business as they can get and if they only offer one model whether a Car or a TV they are limiting themselves as to how much they can sell.

You never said anything about tires either, which was the question.
