When it's time to replace I usually go with Walmart. I buy whatever tire is on rollback online, ship to atore, and they put it on. Their autocenter has the cheapest rate for putting on tires.

Last time I paid $45 a tire and $11 for installation.

Yes it's Walmart, but I'm broke and this is like $100 cheaper than the next option

    I'm not judging you but If you can afford it you should go elsewhere. Walmart tires are absolute shit. I say this having worked in their tire shop and several other places. We had people coming in with defects and broken belts daily where it was a rare occurrence everywhere else I worked. They also didn't do anything to ensure the people working on cars weren't dumbasses. I had to fix A LOT of shit they broke.

    I bought a set of five Nokian all-weather light truck tires on closeout at Walmart for under $300. A set of more desirable all-terrains would have run me $1k and are probably now around $1500. The tires have been great.

    Pay attention to the brand and reviews, not the store.

    Been doing this for 11 years only ever had 1 tire that needed a patch. I usually ride further than the stated mileage before the tires are bald.

    However, I do drive a sub-compact car and have the whole 11 years. Lot less weight on the tires than a standard car
