    I’m not judging you but If you can afford it you should go elsewhere. Walmart tires are absolute shit. I say this having worked in their tire shop and several other places. We had people coming in with defects and broken belts daily where it was a rare occurrence everywhere else I worked. They also didn’t do anything to ensure the people working on cars weren’t dumbasses. I had to fix A LOT of shit they broke.

      I bought a set of five Nokian all-weather light truck tires on closeout at Walmart for under $300. A set of more desirable all-terrains would have run me $1k and are probably now around $1500. The tires have been great.

      Pay attention to the brand and reviews, not the store.

      Been doing this for 11 years only ever had 1 tire that needed a patch. I usually ride further than the stated mileage before the tires are bald.

      However, I do drive a sub-compact car and have the whole 11 years. Lot less weight on the tires than a standard car
