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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
Yes ...but in Cali they charged me the recycling fee and valve stem.
Do I dispute or is this a valid charge?

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.

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.

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 .

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)
