“Goodyear viva 2 tires from walmart have gone out-of-round repeatedly. The mechanics at another tire shop say they see this all the time with walmart goodyears. I gave up on warranty replacements, since they also fail, and I have two daughters and a wife driving these cars with failing tires. I sacrificed the warranties and put kumhos on the cars. I have 6 Volvo 240s and all of them have had failures of walmart tires. Goodyear, douglas and uniroyal. 185 -70 - 14. In every case the tires go out-of-round and cannot be balanced. …”
