I bought a used SUV and while it was at the shop for inspection my mechanic said I should replace the tires. The old ones were not bad yet, but it was a new car to me and I should have it ride like a new car. Nothing makes a ride smoother and quieter than a set of new tires.
I was looking up how much it would cost for a set of all-weather 19" SUV tires and is was 1/3 of what I paid for the car. Then, another customer piped up and said "why don't you get them at Walmart?"
I said "Walmart?" He said, "yes, that's where I got these tires". I was looking at the twin to my Cadillac at home. His car looked immaculate, and he obviously had good taste in cars, so I paid attention. He told me how much he saved. I asked him how much they charged to install them. He told me, and he had already factored that into the price.
So, I checked out the tires that would fit my SUV. I saw these Vercelli at an unbelievable price, but I was skeptical about the quality. I had heard about Pirelli, I had heard about spaghetti, but I never heard about Vercelli.
So, I checked out the other reviews. This tire had over 11,000 great reviews. They said the tires rode well, were quite, and lasted a long time. I said "that's for me!"
I ordered the tires and paid for the installation and balancing. Since I am a Walmart member, they came with the full Road Hazard Protection plan for damage, replacement, free repairs and balancing. I did not have to pay any extra to get this coverage.
I made an appointment to install the tires and they were shipped to the store and waiting for me on the day of my appointment. Walmart installed them quickly and professionally while I went to the in-store cafe for a snack.
When I came back, the car was ready. The mechanic pointed out a problem with my brakes that I did not even know was there. It was safe to drive but I needed to get them looked a soon. Thank you!
The tires turned out to be everything that others had said they were. They are quiet, smooth, and great in all kinds of weather. I've had them for a a couple of years and they are still quiet, smooth, and great in all kinds of weather. In fact, they still look like new.
I have sworn off Michelin tires because, while they are great at first, it's not long before they are noisy and wearing tread.
I liked the Vercelli's so much that when I needed new tires for my Cadillac, I bought another set of Vercelli's. And that's all I'm going to buy from now on.
I love Walmart for all kinds of things. I never expected them to be my favorite tire store. But the service, price, and quality are so great that they are the only place I will take my cars for tires, oil changes, and batteries.
