I bought these Reliants last year in December during a similar deal for my 2012 Accord. I was pretty hesitant as I usually try to get highly ranked tires. But to be honest, these tires are great. They are as quiet as my prior Pirelli Cinturatos. Snow has been rare lately, so I didn't really get to test them on snow or ice. But they are great in rain, and I've been in torrential rainstorms on the highway with them. I don't drive at excessive speeds or very aggressive, so your mileage may vary. Can't say much about wear since it's only been one year and maybe 15,000 miles, but they look no better or worse at this point than more expensive tires did. I will probably get them again if this deal keeps coming back every November/December.
I've done fairly extensive research between these two. To the extent the internet can be trusted, my conclusion was that if I lived somewhere that I didn't have to deal with wintery weather and had a car with any sportiness to it at all I'd pay $10 more/tire for the Kumhos. All season tires are rarely much good in winter crap but apparently the Kumhos are borderline undriveable in even mild winter conditions. I also concluded that the Goodyears were somewhat better for wet.
Since I do have to deal with occasional winter weather (thanks, upstate NY fam) and live in a pretty rainy area and my car is 21 years old (meaning any "sport" it had has been retired for a while) I opted for the Goodyears. If I still lived in southern CA or even the southeast I'd have gotten the Kumho.
This is only based on my research (and therefore the shared observations/opinions of others) not my own experience. That starts this week.
I could not find the V model for Reliant All-Season at following size, what they have is 95H. the only V model is the following at that size. Shall I buy Kumho V or Reliant H? where is Kumho manufactured?

From what I understand, not with the early noon ET access. You'll get access with genpop at 5pm ET. But you can buy a one-month membership for $12.95, get early access to the deal and buy/schedule before the herd, and also get the road hazard warranty free (with the $18 installation at walmart). The road hazard warranty isn't worth $40 imo ($10 extra per tire that they charge non + members) but it's probably worth $13. And as long as you are a walmart+ member when you buy and install the tires you have the warranty.
Thanks for posting this info!!! Just joined for a month
The price looks very attractive, about half of that of the cheapest tires at Costco.
Can I buy the tires now, and go back to Walmart for installation in a year? Or does Walmart run the promotion every Thanksgiving?
- You can buy it from Walmart and have it installed for free!
- They will also do rotation, balancing and alignment for free for the same tires bought from Walmart!
Is this brand sold at walmart only? I have heard trash talk about Goodyear Assurance and Reliant.
I have a set on my car. They're fine. Definitely a budget tire, but better than most of the off-brand Chinese junk you'll find at the same price point. If you just need cheap, reliable tires for an economy car, they do the job without much drama.
As mentioned elsewhere, the biggest pitfall is the fact that you're dealing with Walmart technicians. Some are ok, some are awful. That part is a bit of a gamble.
any idea if this deal will be avialbe for non walmart + customers
Online sales begin at 12 PM ET on Monday, November 11 for Walmart+ members, and 5 PM ET for everyone else. In-store sales begin at 6 AM local time on Friday, November 15.
Ask for tire experts here, I had one tire with sidewall puncture currently, and bought the Goodyear Assurance All season with free installation promo from Sam's club scheduled to be installed this Friday. So this deal with Radiant would be about $40 cheaper altogether (I do have W+ from Amex Plat card), and it looks like I can also get them installed this Friday (earlier than Sam's, but my walmart is right next to the Sam's, so likely the same tire center).
My question here first of all, is it better for me to swap all tires same time or it's fine to buy one tire and replace that. My tires are almost six years old, but due to Covid, they are probably only 30k miles so far. My car is also old and possibly would need to get a new one in the near future, I really do not want to throw a whole lot of money on it.
If it's better to get four tires, would it make sense to just cancel the sam's order to go with these from Walmart for $40 cheaper? Is the sam's Goodyear Assurance all season worth the $11/tire more than the Reliant?
Also a DP for installation appointment, for some reason, the sam's site could not do online scheduling as walmart site, I had to call and talk to someone to make an appointment.
Edit: My dilemma solved by WM LOL. The reliant 225 50R17 went OOS already... Not sure if it was in prep for the 12EST sale though.

Installation is free at Walmart? Are you suggesting waiting for a later time installation promo? Currently I'm seeing $18 per tire installation for W+ member.

Walmart+ members receive a free road hazard warranty when they purchase and install tires at a Walmart Auto Care Center: What IF my Walmart + expires a month after the purchase of these tires. My road hazard warranty still "applies" even if my Walmart + is expired?
