Tread pattern is most important. Look closely at them

{copy/paste both lines}
then go to Walmart and look at the Viva touring (not the Viva II).
I've had EXCELLENT results with that tire... and have bought 3 sets of
four for my, my wife's and my dad's car.
Important factor: Side lugs should be OPEN vent... not just a hint of
it, and many DO just hint at it. So those Vivas corner better in the
wet, WSW's in, IMO.
