Walmart tires - You get a good deal buying tires from Walmart

Walmart Tires online offers a helpful tire finder to match your vehicle with the best tires available in your price bracket. The selection is all similar in terms of tire ratings to the tires your vehical came with. For my car, the their tire finder came up with more selection (5 tires) than a similar tire finder at TireRack.com, which only came up with 2. Walmart offers free shipping to a Walmart near you and a small charge if you would prefer the tires shipped directly to your home. Walmart Tires offer a low cost installation service that includes great features including the mounting and installation, free new valve stem replacement if it turns out to be defective, a free lifetime balancing and rotation plan for every 6,000 miles, and a road hazard warranty to repair a damaged tire. If a tire is unrepairable they offer a free replacement tire if there is at least 75% of the tire left. After that the tire will be replaced on a prorated scale.

Walmart Tires is able to offer you a wide range of tires at competitive prices. When shopping for four new tires you will find a wide range of choices, however if only replacing one, or three tires, they recommend you stick to that same brand and model you already own. If replacing two they recommend you buy the same tires or upgrade and to place these new tires on the rear for better handling.

Once you have had your new tires installed you should plan on using a little extra caution as you become familiar with your new Walmart tires. New tires exhibit differences in performance and handling especially when braking, accelerating, cornering, or when driving in the rain. You will find this is when you will notice the biggest change in handling.

Walmart Tires recommends you keep a close eye on your new tires for tread wear indicators, proper tire rotation, alignment, noise and vibration, proper inflation and air pressure as well as dealing with any noticeable damage immediately.
