   What's the problem with Walmart tires?   
      
   They sell many of the same brands other tire retailers do-- and since   
   they order them six or seven bazillion at a time, the tire manufacturers   
   give them a good price- which is why they can give you the same.

   rejects and Walmart-only special models poorly made with cheap materials...
