i posted a similiar question for tires, but only asked about Walmart tires.
my size is 185/65r14 tires.
i bought the Goodyear viva touring 80k miles for $61 + $10 mounting/balancing/lifetime flat repair/etc. it says "4 wide circumferential grooves channel water away from the tire for maximum traction in the rain. "
i chose that over the goodyear viva2 60k because people reported that it had bad wet traction, even though traction rating = A. (The original Viva tires SUCKED in rain because it had a traction rating = B.)
i looked at tirerack and decided not to buy there because i had to take the tires to walmart anyway to get it mounted/balanced. but it'll be a hassle to get it replaced under warrenty if the tire doesnt last the 60k. (ie: bubble in the tire)
btw- here's the link to Walmart's Tire dept. Just type in tire size and zipcode and it'll list all that can be shipped to the store closest to you. (shipped free)

btw- is $61 for 80k tires a good price?
edit: BF Goodrich Traction T/A is $59 at Tirerack. it gave 4 stars to warrenty rating, but what does that equate to in miles warrenty?
