The employee is an idiot... The tire would have a higher rating than factory specs... NEVER a problem with that.. If the company has a policy that he followed.. Then the company is an idiot.. But yes we knew that...



Buy them and carry them out.. Or better yet call Discount tire.. give them the wally world price.. Let them sell you what you want.

Yeah, I've found that MOST tire shops will sell you the same (or sometimes even better) tire as Wal-Mart at the same price. They want your bizness!

The only thing I can say good about Wal-Mart tires is that when one of mine blew out a sidewall, they replaced it with a new one for almost free (I think I paid like 10 bucks or so). Also, if I'm in another town or state and need a tire replaced, I can go to any Wal-Mart in the US and they will fix me up.

That's the only time Wally World wins out over the local tire shop.

And the only good reason I could see... Except I would use Walmart before I let hibdons touch anything I own... Reason... Hibdons is owned by firestone.. Has been for years now.. Any company that screws over Okies like the Dayton/Firestone plant did... THEN buy the most popular tire company in the state to continue reaming us out... I'll pass on being a part of that... I have no problems with the Hibdon family... Just whats left of the tire company,,

Wal mart chicks are hot (customers)

Most chicks I see at walmart are welfare and food stamp recipients, red neck, white trash and sometimes the girl from the hood that married a nice guy and tries to look like she knows something. The place for hot chicks and Milfs is Chick fil-A on Penn and Memorial..lol.

If you must use Walmart for tires, you better stand over them the whole time or something from your vehicle may turn up missing. In my case, I left minus my spare tire. Of course I didn't notice until the next day, but it was too late. I went sopping for ammo while tires were being installed - and while my spare was being lifted!
