Description of the problem	Goodyear viva 2 tires from walmart have gone out-of-round repeatedly. The mechanics at another tire shop say they see this all the time with walmart goodyears. I gave up on warranty replacements, since they also fail, and i have two daughters and a wife driving these cars with failing tires. I sacrificed the warranties and put kumhos on the cars. I have 6 volvo 240s and all of them have had failures of walmart tires. Goodyear, douglas and uniroyal. 185 -70 - 14. In every case the tires go out-of-round and cannot be balanced. They wobble and shake, because of bubbles in the sidewalls and the tread face, or flat spots in the tread face, where the belts or bands inside the tire are separating and the tire structure itself is failing. In every case the tires are a few months old and still have the brand new mold nipples, and the tread depth is almost brand new. I have taken the cars to front end alignment shops and none of them needed suspension parts or alignment - it has been tire failure shaking the cars. I have had at least 8 of these tires fail in this manner.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
