I just mounted and balanced (DIY...manually) a set of 175/65/14 Goodyear Viva 2 used tires...1/2 to 2/3s tread.

Inflated them to sidewall max...44 psi. Seem to hold the road pretty good...though they can be noisy.

I've heard issues of these blowing out. Was this at higher than sidewall pressures?

Any other problems with these?

Any mpg gains due to them being a LRR type tire?

Balanced out well...no issues so far.
