    I ordered a set of tires from Walmart and they were delivered today. But I found that they sent one of them wrong. They sent general altimax rt43 205 65r 15 94t instead of continental true contact. Walmart said they will send the replacement and I can keep the altimax. But as the tire doesn't fit my 2015 prius I think I have to sell it but am not sure how /where to sell it. The retail price is $69.90 in tire track. What is the best way to sell it? Craigslist?

    Craig's is best, shipping is so high that it many times exceeds the value of the tire

    Wait for a minute then go back and return the wrong ones to the store directly, if the recipt doesn't say thing about them sending you the second set then you get a refund.

    You can sell by Facebook too. Too bad it is not the size you can use.

    I think Grid is correct. Anything ordered by mail from Walmart can be returned to your local store with a receipt.

    Only if it is sold by Walmart.com. If sold by a third party, then Walmart will not take it back.

    Even if you dont have the recipt and request for a refund, long as they take it back, the refund will be in the form of walmart gift card.

    My account says the replacement tire will be sent and one of the set I bought is returned. If I take the tire to Walmart, they will scan it and the replacement will be shown in their system, right? Or do I return it anyway?

    Even though I loath china mart I wouldn't take them back, just sell them cheap locally

    I went to Walmart and returned the wrong tire. No question asked. Thank you so much for all of your help!

    I don't think I will get the refund. So don't get me wrong.
