since the walmart credit card is gone, is there any other option of free road hazard with the basic installation?

Bought 225/65R17 Goodyear Reliant Tires for $90 each and install was $19 per tire.
Made appt. for Friday right when they open. Drop off was smooth exactly at 7AM, just had a printout of the order confirmation and handed to the associate. She gave me a barcode sticker to hold onto to check the status of my vehicle with the Walmart app. Took them 47 minutes (7:47AM) to even register my vehicle as "checked-in" and then another 13 minutes (8:00AM) for the status to be updated to "service has started." Finally got my "vehicle is ready" notification at 8:34AM.
Tires are dated manufactured 3224 (32nd week of 2024 so sometime in August). They looked new and the mounting/install looked like it was properly done aside from the insane amount of residual grease/lubricants on the rims and tire sidewall.
My initial impressions on my 25-mile highway drive to work is that the tires handle much better, but road noise is basically the same as the Dunlops that were on the car from the factory and had 2/32" tread left before the replacement with the goodyears.
Time will tell if they last a decent amount of mileage, but the price was very enticing.
The old tires have plenty of treads left and no visible signs of dry rot or cracks. However, I took advantage of the price point for some peace of mind.
If I may add, I asked the tech what their recommended tire rotation intervals looked like. I was shocked when he said every after 2 oil changes! I said, in my case, that is 2 years because I barely make 4k miles hence, I change oil annually. He suggested I should change the oil every 3 months. I'm like wtf, I said I followed the car manufacturer's recommended oil change interval. What's the oil change got to do with the scheduled tire rotation? I'm asking because I don't want to void the warranty if I miss the scheduled tire rotation. Then he changed his statement and said every 6k.
But anyway, the tire rotation intervals according to the service agreement are every 6k - 7.5k miles.
The tire is $77 each, regulatory fees & taxes = $7, WalMart tire disposal fee = $8, Tire installation = $72 + CA tax = $33.25. The total cost is $428.25
EDIT: Thanks for the comments. I was looking at the wrong number. New ones are all mid-2024.
