Goodyear Compliment - Wal Mart Goodyear Viva 2 Tires - Goodyear Viva 2 Tires
Compliment
I drive 50k miles a year doing courier work in 2002 Chevy prizm, have used Goodyear Viva 2's from Wal Mart getting 66k miles out of them with excellent service and only one repairable flat. Also have them on a 2001 Toyota Prius much better tire than stock OEM Bridgestones RE92's that would only last 12-16k miles, Goodyear's should go 30-35k+.

Excellent review! I'm glad to see that Walmart fulfilled your needs.

I'm glad you have had good luck with them. Personally, I wouldn't buy anything made to be sold exclusively at WalMart. Goodyear makes like 30 different models, I don't see why what is sold at WalMart isn't one of them.
I use TireRack.com's user survey area to judge the tire I buy. They have several categories, such as winter traction, rain traction, vibration, tread life, etc, and then rank all the tires within a category. I have done this several times, and have found the ratings to be very accurate.
The Bridgestone tire that you mentioned has horrendous ratings - 19 out of 20 in its category, and overall "unacceptable".

Since the Viva tire is exclusive, it doesn't show up.

I managed to put over 60,000 miles on a set of Viva 2's...only two flats and one slow leak in that time frame. However, the road noise gets more noticeable as the miles go on. I had them on a 2004 Chevy Cavalier. The Viva 2's are similar to the Goodyear Conquests that the Cavalier came with when it was new. I now have a set of Bridgestone Weatherguard Plus tires on it from Sears, which I believe is similar to their Turanza line. So far, so good.
