Wal-Mart will not put anything but stock tires on a vehicle. Even if you bring it to them with 35's. If they do, you got EXTREMELY lucky. Go to a 4x4 shop or legitimate tire shop.

The funny thing is Sam's Club will do it. The load rating just has to meet or exceed the stock rating. Discount will do it too (and they will match any price Walmart has as well as offer a much better warranty on tires) as well as Firestone or any other tire shop. Had bigger tires put on different vehicles at Firestone (3 times), Discount once, and Sam's.
