Walmart uses torque-limited tools to tighten lug nuts. Try to go over the torque limit and the tool breaks. I think you're casting stones at a lot of good people and decent companies you know little about. "I've heard..." Yeah.

Fitting a stock rim and being an OEM tire size are two different things. Many of those cars use 225 or 245. Just because they can use it, doesn't mean they came with it.

'Heard' as in 'been told first-hand' by friends that experienced problems with various services.

On that basis, you should never buy a Lexus (I've heard some people have had problems with them), have it serviced at a Lexus dealer (I've heard some dealer shops have done poor work), or finance a Lexus through LFS or any other credit union, bank, or loan company (I've heard some people have had problems with all of the above). Get the point now, on "I've heard"?

I've personally always gone with Discount, too. Quick, cheap, but most importantly, reputable.

Considering it's under the "best selling" category on their website, I'm not sure what to believe.

Just order them from tirerack and take the tires to discount for mount and balance. It's simple : )

Dont prolong this thread.

I've never bought tires online and then taken them to a local tire dealer/store to have them mounted and balanced. I can't imagine them appreciating someone doing that. I suspect some might refuse...

bclexus

I get your point. But I have seen the results first-hand (oil leaking all over a garage floor, pulsating brake pedal from warped rotors, etc.) of some of those places that hire 18 year-old high school dropouts on drugs, being paid minimum wage, that have no clue what they're doing and don't give a crap anyway to perform service work on customer's cars. I'll put it this way, around here you almost never see people with high-end luxury and exotic cars go to places like Walmart to get tires installed or any kind of service work done for their cars.

No its totally fine. Many people do that now for a while since online tire stores are a big chunk of the market. I promise you that. Discount tire didn't mind one bit.

In that case, price match Tire Rack (pre-shipping) at Walmart. When they come in (free of any shipping charge) in a day or two, head over to Walmart, toss your new tires in the trunk, then zip on over to Discount for installation. Simple. Thread done.

We have a network of almost 10,000 installers across the country with a installer waiting list for larger demographic areas. Many installers welcome work.

Regarding the Primacy, it will eventually be replaced by the Michelin Premier. At the current time, the 235/45/18 is still available. It is an OE tire for a 2015 Honda Accord so I anticipate it to be around for several years to come. In most other sizes, the Primacy HX MXM4 has already been replaced by the Premier.
