The link I posted is the same link I used for a price match in early June.
Just tried it and they said

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to work with you through our Found it Lower service.



I clicked on the link you submitted, and I show the HANKOOK VENTUS ION A X 225 /55 R19 103V XL tires are listed as out of stock. (picture below)



Unfortunately, we are unable match out-of-stock prices.

Keep refreshing the walmart site, it seems to come back in stock every few days. You have to catch it just right and then the Americas/Discount tire folks have to see it just right. Have to get a little lucky with the timing.
Took me a few tries before I was able to get walmart to show in stock and get the Americas/Discount tire folks to also see it as in stock (I took screen shot and sent it to them too).

I have been waiting for a month for the in stock ones to go on sale. Their form requires a link to the item.

I just had these installed this morning as a direct replacement (225/55/19) on my Premium 4X. First day impressions are very good! They for sure have more grip and a quieter than the stock Michelins. Without any noticeable changes in efficiency, maybe slightly better but more time is needed.

On they way to the shop I was pretty easily able to get the back end to kick out a bit while turning and goosing the accelerator. OEM tires at 4/32nd. Once these were installed I had to work much harder to get the tires to chirp, now at 10/32nd.

Driving on smooth surfaces it’s like we’re floating through the air, so quiet even at highway speeds. Tire noise over bumps was diminished also.

I wish these could have been the stock tires all along!
Any feed back months later on how the tires have performed?

Still awesome! I'm 10k miles in and loving them everyday!

No issues in wet conditions, the grip is really good compared to my OEM tires. We'll see how they do in the winter, but because they have lots of tread depth they should be fine.

I'm thinking about having the dealer I'm going to for 20k service put on a set of these. Quoted at $1500. That seems a bit high based on 240/wheel, but means I should have no worries about a bozo lift-job wrecking the car...

I'm glad to hear good things about wet performance. The recent light rains sweeping across IL have been resulting in some wheel spin even in a straight line. Not sure if that's tire wear showing, or if it is just the light rain lifting oil.

Consider getting a set of lifting pucks on the MME, mount them, and have America's Tire aka Discount Tire get and mount them.

On the web, discount tire wants $1241 and I'm not clear if that includes alignment. If it does they certainly aren't being obvious about it being included.

Plus an hour's drive, since I don't have a store local to me. Free rotations and repair is less useful than it could be due to that...

Ford has a low price guarantee, they will match pricing. Currently best price on this tire is on Amazon:
https://www.ford.com/support/servic...?couponId=tr010&name=low-price-tire-guarantee

https://www.amazon.com/Hankook-Ventus-IH01A-55R19-103V/dp/B0BSDSHZM6
You should be able to have them match the price no problem.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to earn your business, booth!

We offer complimentary alignment inspections, but do not include an actual alignment service with the tire purchase. I apologize for any confusion and I do see your location is in Illinois and we do have a store in Naperville, IL that is offering this service.

On top of our free Rotations, air pressure checks, and flat repairs we do offer our low price guarantee as well, if you find the ION Evo AS tire for a cheaper price we are always happy to match that price as well! If there is anything we can do to help let us know! We are just a DM away!

And from a personal perspective, my vehicles have never needed an alignment after getting new tires. Inspecting the wear on the tires being replaced is, IMHO, a good way to see if your vehicle needs alignment.

H tires are rated up to 130mph, no variant of the Mach-E exceeds that.
I concur. Tire speed ratings are for sustained speed ability. Even if you drove 130 miles an hour how long would you sustain that speed for? The reality is never unless you’re on track.
