Default .... Goodyear Viva-3

The Plymouth Wal-Mart has Goodyear Viva-3 tires which is like getting a 100-dollar tire for 67-dollars. Only Wal-Mart sells the Viva-3 because Wal-Mart made a Viva-3 tire deal with Goodyear that makes it an entirely Wal-Mart tire. Buying your tires at Wal-Mart also gets you free tire rotation and free balancing for these tires, as long as you own them. It opens at 7:00-am, seven days/week, and does oil & filter changes for as low as $19.88. Tilton Wal-Mart has a bigger selection of tires than at Plymouth Wal-Mart. Four Viva-3's installed may cost you about $318 total, including everything; installed-balanced-disposal, depending on the size of your car's wheels.

Free Wifi happens inside the big Tilton Wal-Mart, but not yet in Plymouth, afaIk!

The Viva-3 isn't a performance tire, just a 60,000 mile tire for safe driving; it's black, round and looks like a tire .....ha-ha-ha .... and can be studded for an extra 8-dollars, and available with a much more aggressive winter tread if you want to run two sets of four tires or something, or if you live on Lower Beech Hill Rd, Campton; summer and winter.

Unfortunately, due to the 2012 elimination of the 30-dollar annual registration surcharge voted with the infinite wisdom of the 2012-NH legislature, which left the state with a 35-million dollar yearly highway shortfall, the NH State Police have been running on Viva-3 tires since about 2013 and have been pleasantly surprised with the performance ....ho-ho-ho.....it's a Dodge Charger running w/ Viva-3's ..... omg! And good grief....right now there are legislative minds hard at work, down in Concord, designing the so-called 'Prius Tax' as the plan to solve this 35m/yr hgwy shortfall?
