Been a member of our hometown Sams for many years and do not expect much in the way of service in the store on any product needing an explanation.

Have found tires to be inefficiently run no matter which store we go to and if it was not for the very very cheap price on tires and service would buy tires elsewhere.

Bottom line is harder and harder to get service in any big box store.
Something you should know about tires from the club stores. They are not the same as you get from the tire store. They are made to the club specifications with up to 4/32 less tread than the ones from a tire source hence the cheaper price. Only way around this is to compare product numbers. If by chance they are selling first run tires the price will be comparable to other vendors. I am knowledgeable in this regard as I have 25 years in the automotive service and tire industry. My recommendation would be to purchase tires from your car dealer if they offer a price match guarantee as most do. If not then use a reputable tire store.
