    Has anyone shopped for tires on Walmart's website. You search for Toyota, and it returns that there are no tires for that manufacturer and year? Very odd..


    Yet, I search for the 185-65-15 size of the Prius, and it returns 9 matches.


    1. Does anyone know why? or can guess? It certainly can't be because Walmart has something against foreign made items!! B)

    2. Has anyone used Goodyear Ultra Grip Ice on the Prius?

    The Prius probably hasn't made it into wal-marts database yet

    I've gotten the same response on other websites. It's just easier to know the size of the tire you need.

    Walmart has the worst search engine within their site of any
    corporate site I have ever used. Most searches return books,
    not items you would expect to be found specifically. Even under
    their catagories, it seems, items are not represented logically.
    It's largely a useless
    site. Try using a keyword like "drill". Search only returns books. If you
    want a drill, you have to search using Black and Decker.
    In other words, you have to know what they sell before you
    can find what they sell.
