It was before work that I had them changed and I made it to work fine. 10 hours later I try to go home an one is all the way flat, rim on the ground.

My spare is under the vehicle and wouln't lower. Something was froze up. So I walked home in 35 degree rain in the dark.

I have no idea what could have caused it other than something Walmart did wrong. Never had a complete flat before this. Not sure what to do now besides having it towed to a shop.

Fuck Walmart.

Have it towed to the Walmart. At least then you're out the cost of the tow.

Could be Walmarts fault, but it could also be a complete coincidence and maybe you ran over a nail

cant be sure until someone checks the whole tire

No. I never had a flat like this in my life and cheaped out.

But it's an awful big coincidence it happens hours after they installed new tires. I was driving on smooth pavement and it went flat as it sat in the parking lot.

And yeah I'll have the tire checked for punctures. It could be a defective tire or they installed it wrong or something.

Common sense says it may not taste good, but it'll make a turd.

The auto center is closed now but I'll call them in the morning and at least get it on record. If it's their fault they should pay for all expenses.

Probably screwed up putting the valve core in. They've done that to me enough that I got a little wrench to torque them back in.

As someone who has worked at Walmart I would immediately demand to speak to a coach. They generally are there to shut a person up and give them what they want.

If that doesn't succeed, every Store Manager's picture is posted up front by the entrance and demand to see them. Track them down if you have to.

I'll definitely invest in one of those. Part of the reason why I got new front tires was a leaky valve stem and I had to keep inflating it. When I took off the cap I could hear air coming out. Should have looked into a fix but it was time to replace them anyway. It's a different story if the brand new tire valve core was jacked up.

So managed to inflate the tire and make it back to Walmart. They replaced the valve stem and it seems to be holding.

Still though how the hell could they not tell it was leaking when they inflated the tire? When I filled it to 35 psi the valve was hissing like a mf. No way could they not have heard that.

I probably should have asked for a gift card or something for wasting gas going back.

If they're not torqued in right, they'll wiggle loose as the wheel spins and vibrates.
