A set of 4 for less than $300 (before tax)? Must be old stock ... but sounds tempting, considering I usually wear out winter tires in 2 seasons from commuting in warmer than winter weather.

The detailed description underneath suggests it is only one tire, contrary to the label you posted from WalMart's website. It is nearly the same price ($280.96/tire) as shown on Simple Tire's website.

A qty of 1 set of 4 tires is what it means
Go for it!
I came across a set of four cooper snow tires on ebay in July for $115. They were fresh date and firsts, not blems. Balanced good and provided good service.
WM is good about honoring pricing mistakes, what have you got to lose? Take screen shots.

All my tires over the last 10 years have been Walmart clearance $25-50 a tire and 1-3 years old
Well worth it

Ordered... let's see how many tires show up on Saturday
Is shipping included?
Yes...WalMart.com offers free shipping on purchases of $35 or higher.
SimpleTire only sent one tire.

Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience caused due to the error in listing on Amazon This listing for 04 tires was from a different seller and linked to our listing for 1 tire, not as a set of 04, and before realizing the error, the order was already processed.
We have requested our warehouse to cancel this shipment, once we get a confirmation, we will cancel and refund this order. If you receive these tires, request you to please accept the delivery and initiate a return request through your Amazon account for this order and we can generate pre-paid return labels for you.

(though they mistakenly said Amazon, not Wally-world)

wal-mart says Outpost APT ... out of stock
I do like the WR G4's... but the unstudded Nordman 7's does sound tempting though.

The website link in your first post still shows the same price and "Set of four". It also says "Sold and Shipped by Walmart". I'd print it out along with your receipt and go to customer service in the store. Pick a store that sells and installs tires and try and pick a time that isn't totally crazy.
Tell them that you only received one tire and the ad says it is for four tires. Play dumb and tell them you want what you purchased and was advertised on their website.
It is most likely an error...but that is their problem.

OR-walk away because you are really trying to get something (3 tires) for free- you don't deserve. You realize we all pay for errors...don't you? Just like shop lifting.
Some of the comments in this thread seem harsh to me.
OP bought what was advertised as 4 tires and it sounds like the company might have shipped out 4 tires.
They only realized after the order was processed that 4 tires might have shipped.
If the order is received, he shouldn't have to initiate a return request and transport 4 tires to the UPS store......
Right-he should get three free tires that ultimately we all pay for just like shop lifting.
I have bought Nokian tires on the Walmart site where the prices have fluctuated week to week, but $278 for four Pirellis seems unbelievable as legit.
