   Depends on the car.  I own a lot of cars.  If a decent vehicle, I'll try   
   to not buy the cheapest brand.  Most Walmart tires are not recommended.   
     I'd prefer to go to a local shop to get tires and keep the money in my   
   local economy.   
      
   If it's a cheap beater (or a truck with big/expensive tires), I buy used   
   tires on steep discount.  My Geo Metro has a rare size 12" rim, and   
   those tires are very hard to find.  I think I found them on eBay a   
   couple of years ago, and I took the only brand that I found, because you   
   take what you can get at that point.
