Maybe look for another Walmart. You location says Lost Angeles. There's gotta be more than one Walmart down there.

Never paid more than $10 a tire anywhere.

It ain't rocket science.

$5 a tire for me. $10 a tire over at PepBoys, Jack Williams and Kost. NOt sure on Pepboys, but Firestone charges $15 a tire to mount and balance using a different kind of machine. Kost uses that same machine that doesnt just measure lateral balance. If also measures up and down as well. Found out I had a bent rim on my truck the other day, it wasn't caught when i had my tires last balanced for $5 a tire. Had to switch to a back up.
