GOODYEAR VIVA 3 MODEL, SIZE 215/55R16 (AND MOST OTHER SIZES).  THESE TIRES GO OUT OF ROUND AT EXCEPTIONALLY LOW MILEAGE.   AN COMMON COMPLAINT AT WALMART (THE ONLY RETAILER THAT SELLS THIS MODEL) IS THAT THE TIRES GO OUT OF ROUND, PRODUCE UNBELIEVABLE NOISE, AND VIBRATION IN THE STEERING COLUMN.  I HAVE EXPERIENCE BOTH THESE EFFECTS AS WELL, AND THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON A NEWLY (DAYS BEFORE) ALIGNED VEHICLE, AND HAVE LESS THAN 5,000 MILES ON THEM.  SEE HTTPS://WWW.WALMART.COM/IP/GOODYEAR-VIVA-3-ALL-SEASON-215-55R16-93H-TIRE/42353801   FOR A LITANY OF THE ESSENTIALLY SAME COMPLAINT FROM HUNDREDS OF DRIVERS ON THE SAME MODEL OF TIRE.  THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD, THEY ARE NOT SAFE.  TIRES THAT GO OUT OF ROUND, AT LESS THAN 5,000 MILES, SOMETHING IS GOING ON THERE.  (IN MY CASE, I HAVE ONLY TWO OF THE TIRES (ONE AXLE) BUT ONE IS OK (SO FAR), AND THE OTHER IS CLEARLY NOT.  BUT WHEN I WENT AND READ THE REVIEWS, I FOUND OVER HALF THE COMPLAINTS WERE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM (OUT OF ROUND, AND MASSIVE VIBRATION AND NOISE).  THE OTHER HALF OF THE COMPLAINTS ON LOW MILEAGE LIFESPANS.  BUT THE TIRES GOING OUT OF ROUND, AND CAUSING VIBRATION IN HUGE NUMBERS OF VEHICLES, THAT IS SOMETHING NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE.    HENCE MY COMPLAINT.  I WILL SOON BE REPLACING THESE TIRES ON MY VEHICLE, I DON'T THINK THEY ARE SAFE TO DRIVE ON.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"NISSAN","productModel":"MAXIMA","manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc."},{"type":"Tire","productYear":"9999","productMake":"GOODYEAR","productModel":"VIVA 2","size":"P185/65R15","manufacturer":"Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company"}]},{"odiNumber":11151110,"manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/23/2018","dateComplaintFiled":"11/12/2018","vin":"JN1CA31D5YT","components":"UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"THE STRUCTURAL SUPPORT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RADIATOR AND THE MAIN ENGINE MOUNT IS RUSTED ALL OUT NOW MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN I WAS DRIVING WAS MAKING A NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND THEN PULLED OVER TO DISCOVER THAT THE THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS RUSTED OUT FROM THE RADIATOR SUPPORT","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2000","productMake":"NISSAN","productModel":"MAXIMA","manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11123160,"manufacturer":"Nissan North America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/02/2018","dateComplaintFiled":"08/29/2018","vin":"JN1CA31A0YT","components":"VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"2000 NISSAN MAXIMA SE.
