I personally choose not to deal with Walmart. But if you are not fussy, =
for light road use, tires are tires, really. What I would be worried =
about is letting their installers loose on my MG. I am sure they would =
not have the slightest idea how to deal with wire wheels, for instance. =
Steel wheels, i guess you could take a chance.
