I put a set of Goodyear light truck tires on my old 68 Chevy pickup at WalMart a couple of years back. No problems so far. They seemed much more professional about the whole thing than most tire shops that I have dealt with in recent years. They were quite apologetic about the fact that their reference material did not go far enough back to tell them the proper torque specs. They took an educated guess and begged me to come back in a day or two so they could check them. I checked myself and did not worry about it after that.
