“Tires. Goodyear viva 3 model, size 215/55r16 (and most other sizes). These tires go out of round at exceptionally low mileage. An common complaint at walmart (the only retailer that sells this model) is that the tires go out of round, produce unbelievable noise, and vibration in the steering column. I have experience both these effects as well, and the tires were installed on a newly (days before) aligned vehicle, and have less than 5,000 miles on them. …”
