Not sure what you looked at, but Walmart has the HD tire in the size referenced above in an E/10 size for $67.
The $114 8 ply tire is a different tire altogether.
I ordered 5 ST235/80R16 E/10 for our 5r middle of last year, prior to a big trip, and had my local tire shop install them. When they saw the invoice attached to one of the tires, they were pissed, because the wholesaler who sold to Walmart is the SAME wholesaler the tire shop used and he sold to Walmart for less than the tire shop, but the tire shop does thousands of dollars of business with him monthly.
In the end, even with paying the tire shop $25 per tire for mounting etc., I still saved about $200 over the original quote the tire shop gave me.
I bought them in June 2017 and the date code showed they were made in Dec 2016. The tires were not seconds in any way. I have no doubt, had I used the tire shop, the tires they received would have been from the same stack as the tire I ordered at Walmart.
