I finally found the right all season tire. I put these on my Honda CR-V 4WD. Excellent handling in snow! We got caught up in a snow storm and these tires handled at least 3" of snow. They offer a very quiet ride and I purchased the road hazard from Wal-mart. Excellent service, free tire rotation too. I am buying my next pair for my other car.
over the past six or seven years I have bought 3 sets of these G.Y. Viva 2 tires. I put them on 3 different vehicles. A 1986 Ford Ranger, A 1998 Chrysler Concorde, and now a 1999 Ford Escort. Originally I was attracted to the price, Now I am a LIFETIME committed customer! I literally smoked the tires constantly on the ranger, and these tires have held up 100%!! Very quiet, awesome ride, fantastic traction! BUY THESE TIRES!!
We bought these tires for our 2003 Pontiac Vibe, We had Walmart install them while we shopped, and had a bite at the Subway in the store, while we waited. The tires handle great on wet & dry road surfaces. I did a little online shopping at the Discount Tire and Belle Tire online websites, and found these tires at Walmart to be the best tire for the money. These tires have a high speed rating and a 60,000 mile tread life warranty. I work for a local municipality, and replace tires on vehicles daily, so I know a good tire value, when I see one.
I decided to write this review during the snowstorm feb 2013. Because these tires earned it! because i wanted everybody know how great these tires are! I deliver pizza everyday no matter if it is snowing, raining or if there is hurricanes or blizzards! Everyday, i drive my car minimum 150 miles. Last year i put 50K miles on my car. I purchased 4 set of these tires in august 2012. I have been using these tires more than over 20K miles. There is not really a serious wear on them. it says 60K tread life, but i believe they will go to 80K. What i want to say is these tires are good in summer for sure. they are also good in fall. The thing is they are almost like snow-tires in winter. There is 2 feet snow out there but these tires working more than "just fine"! Technically there is no such thing as "4 seasons tires". I know it is a marketing strategy. Only explanation i have why these tires very good on snow is they must have been made as snow-tires. Price is surprising. It make you feel like "they can not be good" but they are. I remember thinking "what is wrong with this tire?" but nothing is wrong. I see lot of people buying unknown brands for over $80 and i don't understand why! Don't hesitate even a second. Buy it. as long as i drive that's what i will do.
I haven't had these tires long enough for a long term evaluation seeing as I've only put about 100 miles on them so far. With that said, I love the way they handle and ride. They are quiet and hold the road nicely. As with any tire change you get a different feel of the road and these are no different. Going from almost worn out tires to new tires is quite a change in the handling of the vehicle. Nothing radical, just a change. They climb my snow packed driveway hill well where my old tires I had to get sort of a run to make it up. These tires make it up with no problems without having to take a run at it. The first time home with them I stopped 1/2 way up just for a "traction test" and didn't have any trouble making it the other 1/2 way up without any slipping or spinning. I don't put that many miles on per year anymore seeing as I'm retired so the tires will probably dry rot before they wear out.
I have owned these tires for a little over 2 years now. When I purchased them, I was desperately looking to replace some out of balance, noisey tires. Anything would have been better than what I had. I was on vacation 400 miles from home, and couldn't fathom driving another 400 miles on what I had. I picked up a set of these at Walmart and had them mounted/balanced. What a great relief. The car was now smooth, quiet and comfortable. New tires always give you that feeling. But I wondered how they would hold up, and would the feeling continue. I have put on about 25000 miles on these tires, and they continue to make me smile. They actually seem to have a little better traction now than when new. I am still amazed at how quiet these tires are, how evenly they are wearing, and how much tread they still have. I think I will get the 60,000 miles they claim from them. I looked at other tire websites to find some of these for my wifes car, but these are only carried at Walmart. If our local Walmart sold tires, I would purchase them there. I definately recommend these for a mid-size car (I have a Taurus).
I purchased these tires particularly for the low road noise feature, on advertisement. I am impressed. Delivered as advertised. I live and work in San Jose metropolitan area in California, where bad roads are prevalent. Other notable info: Traction A, Temperature B. I was fortunate to buy from Walmart.com when at "rollback" price. Site-to-store shipping took 3 business days only.
I've had these Viva 2 on Dodge Caravan CV for 40k, mixed city/highway. I might get another 7k out of them, not exactly 60k tire but their not over $100 either. I paid $80ea in the store. They are quiet, have good grip in rain and snow. I would buy these again. I bought the rotation and hazard insurance.
I bought these tires a year and one month ago today. Only put 24,000 miles on them and they are bald already. Bought a road hazard warranty. Glad I kept the receipt in a safe place because the shop only had proof of tires purchase only. They would pro-rate the tires but found out it wouldn't be worth the money. I had them rotated regularly because it's free with the tire purchase. Kept the tires alignment up to date. I did not get anywhere near 60,000 miles. I learned my lesson buying cheap tires.
First and foremost, you get what you pay for. I thought that Goodyear tires were good tires. Great brand name, good reputation. Apparently my first sentence is more accurate than my second. As it turns out these tires are made only for Walmart, who would have known. As a former mechanic I understand a little about tire wear. What causes what... low tire pressure, alignment issues and a few other things can mess with your tires. That being said, none of these issues pertain to my car, a small reliable Saturn, completely stock and far too slow to race. At first I was happy, they did well reasonably well in the snow and rain. Then about mile 8000 on these tires they seemed to wearing rather fast for a 60K mile limited wear tire. By mile 15K and month number 10 the edges were completely worn out and the wire cording was showing, both the inside and outside of the tires. Tomorrow I take them in to have them looked at.... lets see what they do.
