Default sooo... Walmart sells Mickey Thompsons lol

I really wanted some Mickeys just for the "legend" behind them. I ended up going with bfg ats 315/75/17(again love these tires) and for what i do they are perfect for me. Discount tire, belle tire, and my dealer did not carry or could not even order them for me. When i was in Walmart today stocking up on some ammo wile we still can i went to the new auto department and saw the Mickeys i wanted in the size i wanted. So my question to all of you dose anyone have any experience with Walmarts tire services and what the hidden fees would be (mount, balance, and install) they seam to be pretty well priced here is the link i found on the website.

I have to admit discount tire prices are great i worked at belletire for 2 years and my old boss could not match a price i got from a fellow jeeper at discount tire! ( thats some free advertisement for you discount tire lol.) They also went above and beyond when i had a issue with my tpms they rebuilt them all for free for me and got me out of my shit km2s for a set of bfg A/Ts at no extra cost i know belle tire would have never done this. I was just wondering on the install cost over there.

Well Walmart price matches now, so I'm guessing they match the discount tire free install

When I talked to them at Walmart they said they will only put on the recommended size. Maybe your Walmart is different.

Took old gfs car to Walmart for tires and they installed them the wrong way (directional). Prices were decent but not sure how bright the workers are. I like discount
