| My daughter, a single mother, bought goodyear viva 16x225/60r16 98t from walmart on 10-20-2011. one blew out the side wall and another developed a hole in the sidewall and had buldges all along the outer wall. the other two have poor wear. the tires are a bunch of junk. we need a total recall and destruction of the inferior product before someone gets killed. if they haven't already. | |||

| After having 3 out of 4 new tires go flat due to bad valve stems, i asked the dealer to check the valve stem on the fourth tire, that hadn't gone flat yet. the valve stem was also bad and needed to be replaced, which the dealer did for free. he still is unaware of any recall problems with valve stems. thankfully, i had him check the fourth tire. *tr | |||

| While driving on the interstate at rush hour my front right tire went flat. this is the third tire out of four that have gone flat! the local police changed it for me. i took the tire back to where i bought it and they said the valve stem was dry rot!! another one. after expressing my concern about having 3 out of 4 tires with bad valve stems, they said that sometime this happens. because i had driven on the tire to get to safe spot, i had to buy another new tire. cost @128.31. *tr | |||
