Probably why tires don’t last as long as they used to
I bought a set of Goodyear VIVA 3 for one of my cars years ago - they were falling apart within a few years.
I replaced 2 but I’m going to have to replace the other 2 before too long, I’m sure
Last I checked you couldn’t even get that tire anymore - too bad that they didn’t last - I really liked how the car drove, too
Goodyear VIVA 3 was made for WalMart only (it appears)
I had to buy some tires for my then-very old car and the guy suggested buying lower-priced tires, because, he explained, the main difference is how long they will last, and since my car was old, it didn’t make sense to invest in tires that might last longer than the car. Along with other ratings, one is of the miles they expect the tire to last for, like 40k or 80k.
