The sale starts Nov. 14 at 7pm ET.

Sale starts 7 hours earlier for Walmart+ members (so 12pm ET).

UPDATE: The banner which was shared multiple times in this thread clearly shows free install and balance. I had a chat with Walmart, and they stated it is a free one-time balance with the installation. If I wanted lifetime balance, then I must pay extra. I contacted my local Walmart, and they confirmed this, and said they are doing free installs and one time balance up to and including Sunday November 27th.

Input the specs for your vehicle at link below to see upcoming prices.

A good review article of the Goodyear Reliant tires:

The math checks out that this is probably like last years BF deal for the reliant tires, with free one-time mounting and balancing included ($12 per tire)

Savings of $128 is $80 for the tires, $48 for the labor... Which comes out to $12 a tire. Since it's $17 for lifetime balancing and rotation (now) , you'd pay the $5 balance x 4 to get it to $68 total for labor.

You can also pay $10 x 4 for road hazard, but IMO, when tires are this cheap (for my car at least), it almost isn't worth it... Just get a new tire for that $40.

If you get goodyear brand tires, goodyear stores will fix your flats for free even if you didn't buy it from them... That's usually the bulk of the road hazard coverage that I acrually use.

I have the reliants on my '13 prius... No issues at all. Very thick tread depth even after a year, and though my car isn't a hotrod by any measure, these have worked great through all types of weather. Haven't tested them in the winter as I switch to winter every January.
In past years these deals included mounting and lifetime balance. I will update the OP once the full terms are available on Walmart.com.

Click the link below and look at post #342 for a screenshot showing free install and balance if you have a problem at the Walmart installation center.

Everything went smoothly. I ordered on Monday with an appointment today. I paid $20, out the door, for mounting and lifetime balance and rotation at the Walmart Auto Center.

My first impression about the Reliant(215/55R17) is that the tire is most definitely noisy. Even compared with my prior cheap Ironman tire, I can hear louder noise. It is not unbearably loud or anything like that but I noticed the difference in loudness.

Dry condition handling has improved. I can feel the stability of my vehicle improved. For wet traction and tread wear, the jury is still out.

Those of you considering purchasing this tire, be aware of the noise.

Try changing to a different store. I had the same issue with my nearby store and had to pick another one.
edaleyMy only option was to have them delivered to my house and I wasn't given an option to book an appointment. Can I still get these installed for free at Walmart?
I am experiencing the same (So California) and I have tried all the nearby and somewhat far stores and superstores all with tire center. None having time for free tire installment but apparently if you pay, time magically becomes available. As for this deal, only option is to use my home address for a free shipping there.

As said earlier, wonder if I get the tire shipped to me, then take to store, would they honor their alleged Free Installation when they have time and can see my receipt of buying in the eligible time for free installation., or all is part of Greed/Laziness syndrome and simple rejection calling no scheduling time!

Never had such an experience in Costco before and wish they would price match or had these tires in their shop.

Quote from jnads :
In the tire size I was looking at (235/65/17) the Reliant is $101 and the Outlast is $136.

The Outlast will not only last longer but offer better performance. Pay a little extra now for more later.

If you plan to keep the car 2 years or less and/or put less than 20k on the tires before selling then the Reliant would make more sense.

Per my previous post, buy the tires online using a credit card and ship them to your house. Take a screen shot of the main Walmart page showing the free installation and balance. Bring the tires to the local Walmart to mount and balance. Show the manager the promo page and ask for the free installation and balance. If the manager refuse, then pay for the install and balance (no need to replace the valve core or valve stem). Keep the old tires to avoid disposal fee. You can drop them off at Sams Club for free.

Keep the receipt. Contact Walmart (1-800-925-6278) and ask for a refund of the install and balance fees. If Walmart say NO, then tell the CSR that you will file a dispute with the credit card company. Use AMEX if possible. 100% protection if you provide good documentation of the problem.

I can help check the tire balance and suspension wear since you are local. Get a digital tire gauge to check tire pressure. Do not trust the gauge found at gas station.

So the website officially says FREE INSTALL AND BALANCE. Case closed. Its on the front page. Crisis averted.

Yes ...but in Cali they charged me the recycling fee and valve stem.

Do I dispute or is this a valid charge?

Not sure about the Valve Stem, but many states have a tire disposal/recycling fee. Any tire/auto shop will likely be charging this fee too.

I got a question, I paid $20 for 4 tires

4 X $2(lifetime balance upgrade )

4 x $3 ( apparently tpms valve stems?)

I thought I was only supposed to pay $8
Not $20

Aren't new tpms sensors one unit and like $50 each? Maybe the stems are replaceable now, idk.

You are correct. Those sensors are very expensive and require reprogramming after replacement, Most places just replace the valve core. Remove those sensors when you buy new tires and check the pressure once a month with a digital pressure gauge.

The sealed battery inside the sensor is good for about 8 years. When the battery goes out, you'll see the warning light on the dash.

Tire recycling fee is a legit charge in CA unless you keep your old tire! The tire shop should ask you if you want to keep the old valve stem. My 1986 Mazda is still equipped with the OEM valve stems.

I have installed my 3 tires 215 60 r16 reliant today at Walmart auto care and they didn't honor Black Friday promotion $12 discount on installation and balancing for each tire and I ended paying $14 per tire. I reached out to Walmart representative on chat saying store charged full price without any discount as per promotion and even chat guy is not able to help me refunding the amount and finally said in 48 hrs concerned team will reach me to address my issue.

As a second try, I reached them on phone and finally explaining the situation for couple of times, they refunded me $36 for 3 tires and immediately it was reflected on my card. Hope this helps .

Recycling is from the state, so that isnt a charge from Walmarts side.

The valve stem is a weird one...esp as so many cars have TPMS, they aint replacing that whole module...so WTF did they do? Did they add a service pack? (gaskets, etc)

They don't, installation is done separately

They'll put it on for you, but there's no guarantee they can program/relearn it to your vehicle

Yes, TPMS service pack for $3 - replace the outer metal and rubber gasket or rubber stem if applicable
