I liked my OEM Hankooks and have decided to buy Hankook again. Before I pull the trigger in the next couple days, I was wondering if the 2 tires I linked above are the same thing. They appear to be the same to me but it seems too good to be true that Walmart is $40 per tire cheaper. $150 per tire and a $70 rebate seems like a sweet price...so much so I am skeptical enough to post here. Thanks in advance.

 

Best I can tell its a match

Load rating, tire weight all seem to match up

Only thing I cant see is that the UTQG: 660 A B match

Might double check before they install them, its on the side of the tire

 

Thanks. I guess they are the same. Per Hankook's website all their AT2 tires are 660 A B except the 275/55R20 which is 440 A A. I originally was looking for the stock 275/55R20 size but for $160 less I will buy a 1" bigger diameter tire. I could care less about the heat rating B vs. A. I don't drive aggressively enough to tell a difference.

 

Discount Tire has a low price guarantee. Call them before you buy and you could save a few bucks more. They beat Amazon once for me. I have always been very pleased with their service as well. No, I am not affiliated with them.

 

Tire rack just switched to free shipping, and I assume this caused the price of tires to go up.

 

They look the same with the same specs but Walmart has different quality control standards, usually a wider range of acceptable, than the Hankook standards. That is how they compete (worked in a food manufacturing factory that supplied some Walmart products and dealt with these differences).
Not saying it's bad just it is different between what TireRack and tire shops get vs Walmart specifications. It's your $$$. KM

 

Same part numbers. Walmart notes $15 to $25 a tire install. What does Tire Rack charge if anything? What are both store charges for balancing? These items could be the differences in price.

 

"Same part numbers."

The different industries use many numbers, may be same part number but a different SKU. That's what was used in the food industry I worked at. KM

 

That^

Discount Tire over Walmart alllll daayyyyy lonnnnnggg. Nothing wrong with tire rack, but you're a lot more likely to have a Discount Tire physically located near you

My discount tire was $20 each
