Does walmart not want my business?
 
I went to walmart yesterday to get tires and they tell me i have to get H rated tires. Wtf? its a 94 civic. Why do i need H rated tires? They don't carry them in my size, and they won't put on different size tires for me. The lady at the register literally told me we will not touch your car. I ended up going to the local goodyear and getting all 4 H rated tires for $226.30 with a decent road warranty. /rant.

haha, funny. i did it this way. asked if i brought my car in can i get this size tire? they answered no, because they only do stock replacement sizes to adhere to safety regulations. but i asked what if i just bring the rims? then he said you can do what ever you want since the vehicle is unknown. :6 guess what i did :8

Thats what you have to do now if you go to any big retailer like that, fleet farm, sams, its all the same, insurance purposes.

they didn't sell you the tire, it wasn't their tire, you bought it, its your tire. you knew before you went in there what you were doing, and they can't change that.

unless its whats on the rim on the car, or whats on the sticker in the doorjam, very few shops will put on a different sized tire. emissions regulations bullshit mainly

I always get my tires put on at Wal-Mart. I just bring the rims in though. Hell one time they didn't even charge me to pull some tires off cause they didn't have a option for that on their price board behind the front desk. lol. Hell I had my Advan race slicks put on some VX rims there. Guy was like these are some weird tires but didn't give me any hassle. You just gotta know the rules to the game. :6
