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.

Maybe it is just me, but no way would I put/trust $67 tires on my 5er!
I prefer to put the same tires on my 5er, as my TV. Our 5er has a GVWR of 12,360# I removed the OEM LT235/85-16E, and replaced with LT235/85-16E Yokohama YK-HTX. Yes they run close to $200 a tire, but fully trust them to their 3,042# capacity as fast as I could pull this trailer, 80mph+, not that I do that.
