If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Cooper is Goodyear... and I am DONE with Goodyear.
I like very few brands much anymore... Toyo makes Nittos... Both are good.

Walmart is un American! Oh Boy... I needed bearings the other day for my LX280... THREE local JD shops were a no go... Ordered from Walmart and they were direct shipped from a small JD dealer in Kansas. Walmart gets a tiny % for listing/hosting... the real % went to mom and pop in Kansas. Walmart employs like a gazillion Americans... directly... or thru vendors... small business. Personally, I don't care how or where you shop, but don't fool yourself with wrong info. Amazon is the real monster out there.

Amazon is the real monster out there. Walmart has driven untold numbers of American Mom & Pop stores out of business while Amazon hosts thousands of American small businesses and Mom & Pop shops. Don't fool yourself with wrong information.

I do not do anything with amazon / google. I do not do anything with walmart.
Bearings come from Bartlett Bearing...'course I buy thousands from them all year long. I have a OEM account with Koyo also.
It is hard to get away from chinky products....absolutely impossible.
I do as much as possible with US companies ....just my gawddamned nature.
As far as the tires go...I would be sure to see if they are price point tires . Costco tires are price point ...made to their cheaper specs.
Who Dafuq goes to walmart for tires .... waste time with their pimly faced help.

Don't fool yourself with wrong information. Are you saying my bearings did not come from a small business? You might want to reread my post above. Walmart uses tons of small businesses. Amazon "claims" to do the same, but they suck... I know Amazon BS first hand as a former vendor. Dextero DAT1 tires are designed and manufactured in the USA... Chester County, South Carolina. Personally I don't care is you don't like USA made tires... or don't like Chinese made tires. The Dextero DAT1 tires meet my needs... and the are really cheap at $122.54 a tire. They will ship to my house and my local shop will install. Really really... I do not care if you want to piss in your own glass of bourbon.

Cash,
I don't need to re-read your post. If walmart works for you OK.
I understand you do not have the resources,or the werwithal to get away from walmart. I don't have the time to fool around withn the chinky goods big box store. it pains me to even think about having to walk around in there.
You reveal your true worth in your quantum post about pissing in my bourbon, which is Old Grandad 101 bottled in Bond .
In business I have had to develope good vendors. I buy a lot of items , including tires for many vehicles.
Stay with walmart they deserve you.
I do not capitalize things I have no respect for .
Have a good day.

I put a set of Toyo Open Country H/T in that size on my old Suburban and drove from Alabama to Washington on them. Great quiet ride and handles better than the previous Michelins. Replaced my Cooper Defender snow tires until the winter.
