It used to be ~$9.95 for installation, balance, road hazzard.

Sucks, but I wouldn't trust my car with Walmart anyways.

It's weird you mention that, cause I was just looking at the website to install winter tires.

Step 1: Destroy local businesses
Step 2: Raise Prices
Step 3: Profit! (more than you already were)

did you know that walmart actually tracks the profit on each item and if they find it is making too much money they lower the price?

Costco > Walmart.

Well, you have to admit, it's hard to mess up tires as long as the guy balancing them knows what he's doing. I stand over the guys working on my car no matter where I take it for service. The only things I'd ever pay for is tire service and maybe a transmission rebuild. Everything else, I do myself. I simply don't trust the guys working in the business these days.

Yeah, if I had the right tools, I would do it myself.
