Got my 2 new Walmart Douglas Performance Tires 215/50/17 (note) made by Good Year, mounted today Sunday on my 07 Chevy HHR, It took them 1 hour and they knew how to mount the tires so the correct tred was facing outwards. I got the full warranty and it was just under $58.00 w/tax It's well worth it!!!,,, PS next month will be purchasing my last 2 from Walmart online,, good luck everyone and thanks Kelvin's Garage> HT

Kelvin this was an excellent video on the subject of buying tires at Walmart. I have always been skeptical of buying tires there, but your review of the Douglas Tires has put me at ease concerning that tire brand. I can see your point. Don't buy tires that are suppose to last up into the 80,000 mile range. As the tire itself is probably has aged to the point, it actually does need replacing at around 45 or 50,000 miles. I had my Kia Soul aligned at the dealer and I'm almost sure I paid up around $200 by the time the bill was totaled up. I was shocked but they did tell me it was going to be at least $160, the rest was taxes or whatever they add on.

The balance is between 12 to 14 dollars, road hazard is 10 dollars a tire and the valve stem is what holds the air in the tire.

Hey I just got my Douglas Performance tires (note) 1 pair, I read about them before I decided to purchase and I was satisfied with the results I read. When I was looking at the tred design I notice a different pattern on each side, after listening to your video it helped me to understand which side goes out and which side goes inside. Thanks for your help!!> HT

Keep in mind, Walmart, unlike actual tire stores, does not allow you to exchange or get a refund if the tire does not meet your expectations. So if that really cheap tire you just bought, is loud on the road. You to turn up the stereo, or preventing you from having a conversation with so many sitting next to you. They will not and cannot do a refund or exchange if you've driven on the tire. Unless you're replacing like for like and you already know that your tire is in exact replacement, I highly recommend you're going to an actual tire store. Learn from our mistake, casa $600 for some cheap tires we now have to just throw away or sell used on Facebook.

There is hard rubber which lasts long and soft rubber mostly for snow but also used to make cheap tires. I've heard of people getting 20-30,000 miles out of cheap tires because the tread wears down so fast, which ends up costing you more in the long run. And about front tires wearing more than rear tires. If you rotate your tires, you won't' have uneven wear. all 4 tires will have even wear.

Usually the tires mounted on the drive wheels will wear out faster. Also higher cost doesn't necessarily equal to longer lasting. High performance summer tires usually cost the most but wear out the fastest because the softer rubber compound used in them yields the highest grip. The only thing you can go by is the treadwear rating.

I have dealt with several walmart tle, most of the time I have had less than ideal experience. They always try to find a way to get out of what I ask them to do. I went for an oil change and they refused to do it because my car was too new. They claimed they didn't know if they had a filter for it. They had my filter for sale on the shelf inside the store. Another time I went to buy tires and they said they had tires for my vehicle and I waited 2 hours to get them put on and they called me to tell me they couldn't find them in stock. I have also went there first thing in the morning on a Sunday when it wasn't busy at all and still had to wait over 2 hours to get tires put on. I only go there if I'm not able to go when other tire shops are open. The local tire shops in my area include mounting and balancing in the price of the tires.

@therealmakmillion Жыл бұрын
Nobody includes the price of mounting and balancing in the price of the tires. They may put it on the receipt but it's not a part of the tire cost. If it were, ever tire manufacturer would deny warranty because you'd have no proof that they were installed as there would be no line on the receipt to prove the installation was purchased and completed.

Those tires are known to last only 20K . By that time they are noisy, hydroplaning in rain and easy get flat when it wear down. When the cost of mounting, balance are constant cost at say $25 per tire. You have to decide if the cost are comparable. For me it makes more sense to go pay $40 or even double of that Douglas for longer use. That $200 you save for a 2 years tire could easily save that $1000 fender bender over the 4 years. If snow and rain are in your area, I personally had General Atlimax RT43 before and they are great. Had also Cooper Evolution and Ultra on the other two cars but are too new to commend. I learned to change my tires during the pandemic and its not bad.

I used a set of Douglas Performance on my daily beater. Going on a little over 1.5 years now on the same set. They wear great, no noise and grip very well. Wet traction would be the only downside I've noticed. It's not bad, just could be better. I've had tires that were double the cost that didn't perform this well. Take it with a grain of salt, but I would gladly buy another set.

I would pay a little extra for the goodyear reliant or assurance outlast. I had the douglas performance for only 1 year and I had to get them plugged 6 times from nails, pieces of metal, staples like they are magnetic and needed to get 2 replaced, 1 from a nail to close to the sidewall and 1 from bumping a curb caused the tire to blow. If you go in and put them side by side the Douglas tires are so easy to push in on the sidewall and the tread feels soft, whereas the Goodyear reliant or assurance sidewall feels very sturdy and thicker more beefier and the tread feels harder. I will say the douglas performance tires rode good, not to noisy and great handling on my 2018 Corolla but their weak point and how they save on cost is the structural integrity and durability is lacking.

I will never use Wal-Mart again after they installed the wrong tires. I asked for Goodyear Reliants (and verified this TWICE with the associate) and they put on Douglas A/T. The Wal-Mart tire center associates are LAZY, RUDE and not-accommodating at all. They also put 2 different size valve stems on my tires. I'm having this fixed because the car looks 'stupid' with 3 valve stems sticking 2" out from the rim. To be honest, it's not worth the hassle dealing with Wal-Mart to save a few bucks on tires.

Don’t forget you need to read the date code on the tire Just because the tire looks new doesn’t mean it is new Walmart has been known to sell “ Old New Tires “ Example : the year is 2021 you buy brand new tires The tire has a 4 digit code First two numbers are the week of the year Last two numbers are the year So if it says 1621 Means April 2021 If it says 1616 It was made in April 2016 The tire is 5 years old It is already breaking down DOT and the tire manufacturer say that any tire regardless of tire tread should be changed after 6 years because the tire itself degrades and breaks down. Walmart as well as as Super Stores have been caught selling OLD NEW TIRES

But everyone who goes to the Costco gas station calls it ‘Costco gas’ or it can be referred to by its real name ‘Kirkland Signature Gasoline’ (Costco’s brand). A gas supplier (we don’t know the name of that company) provides gas for Costco gas stations. Thanks for watching!

Goodyear Viva 3 suck balls from Walmart. They are from a good American namebrand, are very affordable, and look nice. But..... Cons: 1) Treadwear is worse than advertised. Two years max life out of them if you're lucky. 2) Feel very unstable in the rain. Literally, I hydroplaned in heavy rain in a straight highway. 3) Extremely noisy on the highway. 4) Has no safety features and new technology implemented in the tires from Goodyear- hence the price. It's literally just rubber with some decent tread design. I recently purchased Pirelli P4 All Season tires. Boy, what a difference in performance, stability, noise and peace of mind. Don't cheap out on All Season tires like I have in the past

my personal experience: you get Walmart quality, Walmart prices and Walmart customer service. (NOT THE BEST) Product: be careful with tires, they gave me old stock and refused to exchange them. I asked before they mounted them and told me tires the were manufactured this year and turns out the tires are from 2015. They installed the tires in June 2023. Tires were 7 years old. no wonder the tires where cheaper. Customer Service: they act like they are understaff (might be the case) and always on defense about why it takes 3 hours to install new tires when I am literally the second 7am appointment. the first appointment before me was a sedan that needed an oil change. I rather pay $80 more dollars at discount tire or pet boys but they don't sell old tires like Walmart does. For those that don't know, tire compounds are not meant to last on average more than 7 years. yet, they sold me 7 year old new tires. WALMART SOLD ME TIRES MANUFACTURED 7 YEARS AGO, I ASKED WHEN MY TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED BEFORE INSTALLATION AND THEY SAID "THE TIRES ARE FROM THIS YEAR". OVERALL, "BS". they somehow manage to give you the Walmart experience somehow. UNSAFE!!!!!! My tires are Continental, not worried about paying over $1,000 because Continental tires are meant to give you superb performance, safety and endurance. WALMART STILL FOUND A WAY TO PUT THEIR MARK ON HIGH END TIRES. MY MISTAKE FOR SHOPPING THERE. NEVER AGAIN.

That's insane how they sold you 7 year old tires even after you asked and they told you they were manufactured this year. I just bought a set of the Goodyear Assurance Outlast and 2 was made in August 2023, 1 in July 2023, but 1 was made in January 2022, which is 19 months ago so I'm not to happy about it but they say you shouldn't buy new tires if they are more than 2 years old and should replace your tires after the manufactured date is older than some say 6 years and some say upto 10 years. I would of been freaking pissed and upset if they put 7 year old "new" tires on my car. They would of been giving me different newer tires, fuck that shit. That's BS.
