I am curious if Goodyear is doing this too. I have bought 2 sets of Goodyear tires from Sam's Club and they were some of the worst tires I've ever used. I switched back to Michelins and the vibration, irregular wear, and premature wear stopped.
I don't know about their tires, but a friend who has to use a man lift to change bulbs, says Wally's bulbs last about one fourth as long as the ones he gets from Granger.
Both are GE.

Sam's Club carries Michelins as well as Goodyear. And, Sam's stands behind them. I ruined one on a mountain road. Had about 10,000 miles on the tire. Sam's replaced the tire with a new one at no cost. Actually, Sam's credited me with the price of a new tire which was more than the price I paid. Couldn't complain a bit. Bought two more in fact.
