Wal-Mart tires?
Well, sometimes you CAN get more than you pay for. I have no experience with the Wally World tires, but thay seem to have the ability to get very good manufacturers to do their private label stuff.
Personally, I'd look at the available name brand tires they sell (and , for a wider selection, at Sam's Club), and see if the private label ones seem similar, AND are significantly less expensive. I believe there is also a DOT manufacturer's plant code stamped on all tires. If you can decode that, or find a similar one on a name brand, you will know by whom and where they had it made.
Although you may not have the latest "breakthrough design" (if you think there is one), I don't believe you can go too far wrong with the Walmart tires. However, I probably wouldn't trust their mechanics for anything out of the ordinary.

Wal-Mart tires?
hey, as far as i know Wal-marts super sports cross over to the super Gt we have here in Canada. As long as we have the same buyers, that tire is made by good year, and overall form what ive seen gets a pretty good life. I wrok in automotives at a wal-mart in alberta, and anyone at the wal-marts tha has actually taken time to learn somethin can tell you who the no-name tires are made by. Right now all are tires except for two kumho lines we sell are good year. Most of the tires we sell customers are happy with, but as with anythingm you have cases to deal with. Anymore questions on the tires let me knoiw, i'll help you out. have a good one

We have been running the Sport King tires fron Sam's Club (Walmart) For years on our 85 F-250. We have never had a complaint other than they do not clean out very well in heavy mud, but that is what you would expect from just an All-Terrain. We are currently running 33x12.50x16.5. Been on this set for close to 3 years or more and still look good.

Hi-
I just bought two new/used(very little offroad, still have **** on them) 35x12.5-15's. I believe these are the tires Ford_Six refers to when he started this post. They say in outlined white letters(OWL) "Super Sport Radial HT". By their looks I would consider them an on/off road tire (they're lugged) and definitely more aggressive than an all terrain in my experience. My current tires are in that annoying state where you need new ones bad, but then when you have replacements you wait to really kill the ones on there (Conti Trac M/T's right now). I will either buy 2 brandy new ones at Walmart, or will get two same size others from elsewhere. Needless to say, when I start getting pulled over or have a blowout I will mount these, and then have something to share with you's. But this could be a couple weeks.
PS- I buy used tires when the deals right hence I've had the chance to run alot of different brands. I'll try these what the hell. And I've heard they're made by Goodyear also so I second that post i read somewhere saying that.

Having said that, I do not know anyone that is using this tire and have no idea how long they will last or how good of a tire they are. The price does seem rather impressive.

As I was saying, I'm running them on my Explorer. The 235-15s white letters were $52 each + around $8 for lifetime balance, rotation, and road hazard warranty. So that made them 4 for about $250.
Also, my brother and father also are running them and so far, none of the three of us have had any trouble. I've put 18k miles on mine and they've each put a little less but all without issues.

I bought my 33x12.50 BFG AT KO tires from wal-mart almost 18 months ago and have been nothing but happy. I searched around town and online to find the cheapest price, and wal-mart matched it! The tires were ordered and arrived within 3 days and I even talked them into free installation. They have also been really good about free rotation and balancing as promised. Only thing I can say is go early in the morning or you will wait all day for service...

A friend of mine just bought the super sport tires, he got the biggest ones the offer, 35X12.5. If you go in the mud, i would highly recommend them. I thought he had good tires before. But the supersports dig very very well. I am also about to purchase them. go ahead, you will not be dissapointed
