“I am an auto mechanic and later automotive engineer and I always keep my tires properly inflated with routine balancing, rotation and alignments. In over 30 years of driving I had never had a tire issue beyond the occasional flat until I bought a set of goodyear viva 2 tires from walmart on may 31, 2011. P225/60r16 97s DOT mdx0 h6hp 1911 tires for my 2001 Buick Regal. After almost a year I noticed the car was not riding smoothly so I took it in to get the tires balanced. The tire man showed me that there was a tread issue on a tire, so on may 9, 2012 I bought a replacement viva 2 tire. …”
NHTSA complaint #10537369, filed 2013-08, 208,066 miles“Since two of the four tires have now failed I will submit two complaints, one for each tire. Goodyear viva 2 tires bought from walmart on may 31, 2011. P225/60r16 97s DOT mdx0 h6hp 1911 tires for my 2001 Buick Regal. After almost a year I noticed the car was not riding smoothly so I took it in to get the tires balanced. The tire man showed me that there was a tread issue on a tire, so on may 9, 2012 I bought a replacement viva 2 tire. The failed tire had less than a year and 17,601 miles on it. Recently while driving on the freeway another of the initial viva 2 tires blew out (same DOT code). …”
NHTSA complaint #10537370, filed 2013-08, 31,440 miles“The tires on the car have failed. I have done the all of the scheduled rotations and alingments. The tires goodyear eagle ls (225/60r16) on my 2001 Buick Regal are putting my life at risk when I drive everyday for work. I contacted Buick and they still are making a determination to replace these failed tires, at 23,900 miles. I believe that GM should of tested these tires before they had made the decision to put them on a quite pricy car. Goodyear I believe is at fault for producing such a tire that is a complete failure. I hope that something is done about this problem.”
