Yeah, I’ve always used Discount Tire but never ordered tires online. Just wondering if that creates any hassle getting them installed. My ‘06 Silverado needs new shoes and tire prices are outrageous like everything else today. Might have to do some online shopping.

Why would anyone pay to get tires mounted and balanced? Been doing it myself for 60 years!

I have used Tire Rack once when no one had the tires I wanted locally. These were Firestone tires and they shipped to my Firestone dealer and they installed. The whole process went well and the cost was within a few dollars of what it would have been locally.

If you’re a Sam’s Club member, they’re the best place to get tires.
Our Honda CR-V wore out the original tires in 27,000 miles. We’re in the St. Louis,MO area till tomorrow and the tires are waiting for us when we get back to Michigan. Sam’s Club is the low price leader.

If you don't have a Discount Tire Store close by, they will send them to whichever installer they have listed that is close to your location.
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

My ‘06 Silverado needs new shoes and tire prices are outrageous like everything else today. Might have to do some online shopping. I have ordered several sets of tires online. Problem is local shops hate to mount them and if they do they gouge you. So I bought a Harbor Freight manual tire mounting contraption and I use glass beads in the tire to balance them... saved me hundreds of $ My luck with Walmart online was beyond horrible and as others have said Tire Rack isn't the way to go anymore, several other less known online sellers with great prices and service

I bought 4 or 5 sets from Discount tire Direct over the years, free shipping and a lot cheaper than any of the local tire stores. I take mine to WallyWorld for mounting & balancing, and then free tire rotation is included.

Amazon is anti gun...
Walmart sells guns (albeit the selection really sucks anymore).
Walmart also beats Amazon on price 95% of the time...
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.

Been kinda wondering about the online thing.
Need a new set of 31 10.50 15,s myself.
OEM size is 265 75r 15.
Wally world saying they cant install the 31,s
OEM game I have ran into before up their with Khanarella cars...
Wanted to rub some schit in their face knowing what would happen just to show them their policy is fuuuuking stooopid.
Ok
Smart phone comes out .
Little Google fu I had already done and knew fast where to find the info
Show me the dimension diffs mr manager.
Oh my...
Lookee at that some of the specs for 31,s are smaller than the 265,s and vice versa.
Morons....
F U...
I dont know if that bullschit policy is just around here or nationwide.
But it is fuuuking stoopid as fuuuk AFAIC...
We got a discount tire in town and they give a 5% mil discount.
Havent been over their yet to see if they play the dumbazz OEM game...
If I have to balance and mount em myself up on the auto craft shop on post so be it...
Ain't the 1st time I have gone up their to put on tires over the past couple of decades...
They got the mount dismount machine and the spin balancer.
Just have one of the guys give me a quick refresher hands on with 1st and GTG from their.

Walmart only mounts tire sizes per the door placard. No exception!
Unless you know Jimmy and slip him some cash...

My experience with buying tires and mounting at Walmart was okay except for the 'Free Rotation'... which is at their convenience, not the customer's... If they are busy, paying customer's vehicles come first.
Bought tires from them, took my vehicle back for a oil and filter change and the 'Free' tire rotation 3 - 4 months later. They changed oil and filter, but then parked my vehicle back outside. Thinking they were done I went to auto center desk to pay and leave and was told oil and filter change was done but not free tire rotation. Already there for over almost 2 hours and seeing several vehicles that came in well after I did get processed, I asked what was up with that...? Was told paying jobs get taken care of first. Paid for oil / filter change, asked for my keys, and left without 'free' tire rotation. Haven't bought tires from Walmart since...

I have been getting tires through Costco last few years . When shipping, mount, balance are taken into consideration they are the best deal I’ve found. Also they have a good warranty and free rotation for life if the tires. Also very convenient. I’m way past the point in life where I want to devote very much time and effort into saving a hundred bucks or so on a $1000 purchase.

Rotate take 10 mins max with a balance 20 mins... Their road hazard is only good for the tire purchased then ya gotta buy new road hazard for the replacement tire....
