That being said, based on my research when looking for a new set of tires for my old beater these seem like a good budget tire, especially if you live somewhere it doesn't snow.

Also, my tires had a DOT 2223 (22nd week of 2023) and are made in Vietnam. They drive just fine other than the vibration from the balancing.
im still not sure if i should let discount tire price match or do it at walmart, main difference is road hazard warranty comes with package if you have walmart+, discount doesnt. maybe i can ask if they can include that
1) The model number "KU27", used on both Walmart and TireRack.com product description, and/or
2) The identical tread pattern clearly visible on product listing photos on both Walmart and TireRack.com (the biggest source of ratings and tests I found for this tire), and/or
3) The identical text with stylized fonts "Ecsta LX Platinum" molded into sidewall on product listing photos (different photos used) on both Walmart and TireRack (just zoom in to see), and/or
4) Kuhmo's current product page showing the Ecsta LX Platinum KU27 is now a Walmart EXCLUSIVE model (also lists all available sizes with specs and diagrams tire construction):

- Apparently Ecsta LX Platinum KU27 is an "old" design (over 10 to 15+ years old), but I'm not sure how much tire design in its category has really changed during that time.
- Google search shows TireRack's price for Ecsta LX Platinum KU27 was between $120-145 (obviously don't know how recent/accurate that is or what discounts aren't accounted for).
