Re: Goodyear Wranglers for 50.00 at Wal-Mart.......

I know that when I had my monte carlo it had a set of continential tires on it that came from walmart, when I put my summer wheels on I stored the walmart tires in our shop on a tire rack, after setting there for 2 months one of the tires blew the tread off itself while on the rack, I have never seen that before and none of the tires were overinflated it freaked the crap out of me. It looked just like a semi retread coming apart, after hearing that I did some research and there are all kinds of horror stories about wal-mart tires. Anyway around here there is a reputable tire dealer who is a local guy and only a few dollars over what wal-mart wants for their version of the same tire. He has had people come from as far away as central illinois, about a 3-4 hour drive to buy tires because his prices are so good.
