Walmart Is Clearing Out These Cooper 10 Ply Truck Tires: The Deals That Are Real, And The Ones To Skip

Walmart is clearing out Cooper 10 ply truck tires, according to the buzz, but the listings we found show one clear markdown of about 27% and many regular prices. Here is what is actually available, which Cooper tire fits which job, and what to check before you buy.

The Only Confirmed Markdown

Among the Cooper Load Range E tires on Walmart.com, one listing showed a visible price cut: the Discoverer STT Pro Mud Terrain LT285/75R16 126/123K E at $308.10, down from $420.29. That’s $112.19 off, or about 27%. Most other listings showed a single current price with no “was” price, so they may be regular pricing. Snapshots can be months old (one listing referenced a February delivery date), so confirm on the live page. walmart

The HT3 is a highway/all-season light truck tire, and it’s the most common 10-ply Cooper on the page.

The Per-Tire Math

Listings mix singles, pairs, and sets, which makes prices hard to compare. Divide by the number of tires:

Listing Per tire
HT3 225/75R16, set of 4 at $815.96 about $204
HT3 245/75R16, set of 4 at $903.96 about $226
STT Pro 265/75R16, set of 4 at $1,244.86 about $311
S/T Maxx 275/70R18, set of 4 at $1,597.99 about $400
Snow Claw 265/70R18, pair at $534.99 about $267

The lowest per-tire price isn’t automatically the best, because the sizes and tread types differ. But the table shows how a “set of four” price can be a better value than it first looks.

What “10 Ply” Really Means

Modern tires aren’t built from ten literal layers. “10 ply” is a rating equal to Load Range E, meaning a heavier-duty construction built for higher load capacity and inflation pressure. You’ll see it as “E” or “E/10PLY” in the listings. It’s the standard choice for heavy-duty pickups, work trucks, and towing. For a lightly loaded half-ton truck, it can ride stiffer than lighter load ranges, so don’t buy 10 ply by default. Match your vehicle’s door-jamb placard.

Three Traps to Avoid

1. Assuming “clearance” means a lower price. As noted, only one listing here showed a markdown. Everything else may simply be the regular price.

2. Trusting “fits” notes blindly. Some listings name specific vehicles, such as a Silverado ZR2 or a Ram 1500 Rebel. Treat these as hints and verify size, load index, and clearance for your exact trim and wheel setup.

3. Forgetting installation costs. Mounting, balancing, valve stems, and old-tire disposal can add up. One listing is marked available for installation, but check what that includes and what it costs. Delivery can also take days, with one listing noting arrives in 3+ days. walmartwalmart

A 7-Point Checklist Before You Click Buy

  1. Read your sidewall or door placard for the exact tire size and load index.
  2. Check quantity. Is it one tire, a pair, or a set of four?
  3. Check the seller. Walmart.com includes third-party sellers, so confirm who ships and who handles returns.
  4. Look for the DOT date code. Ask how old the tires are.
  5. Compare to a local shop’s out-the-door price including installation.
  6. Confirm warranty and return terms in writing.
  7. Match tread type to your driving. Mud-terrain tires are noisier and wear faster on pavement.

Replace All Four?

For four-wheel-drive trucks, matching tires all around helps avoid uneven wear that can stress the drivetrain. If you replace only two, many installers recommend putting the new tires on the rear axle for stability. Ask a qualified tire shop for advice specific to your vehicle.

The Bottom Line

The real news isn’t a sweeping clearance sale, it’s a wide selection of Cooper Load Range E tires, one clear 27% markdown on the STT Pro LT285/75R16, and per-tire prices ranging from about $204 to over $460. Choose the tire for your truck and your driving, compare the per-tire and installed price, and confirm size and load rating before you order.
