I am contemplating the RT43 again. I did have them on another vehicle but, only for about 18 months before selling the vehicle and they were fine the whole time. They were/are a great tire at an entry level price and score high in many circles & publications.
Help with new tires for the Malibu

I'm having great luck with General Exclaim HP's. The best Wally World only tire IMO.

We would need all seasons. Walmart is really the only game in town, there is a tire dealership but crazy expensive and not the most trustworthy. Not a member of any big box stores as the nearest one is about 40 minutes away.
I will continue to look at all the suggestions. Probably get a set in the next week or so and should be back to work by June 3rd (that's the guess from the Surgeon and my primary care Dr.).

Although those Toyo Celsius are above the intended budget, and are a compromise tire achieving tread wear between that of a winter and all season, they are what I would get for an "all season" tire for Michigan winters, especially if in an area that gets lake-snow... depends, some vehicles *need* to be driven in snowy weather and some don't.
Goodyears's budget series tires, whether a model # special for walmart or not, are pretty underwhelming performers and I'd sooner go with a 2nd tier manufacturer's mid-grade tire. The Viva 3 has a 60K mi treadwear rating which on a tire this cheap (under $60 at other sellers before shipping?) makes it most likely it has a hard rubber compound that will do poorly in winter. This is typical for major brand budget tires, buying all-season for an area that gets significant snow and ice is one of the harder tire choices to make.

For an all season tire, the AltiMAX RT43 do quite well in the snow & ice according to customer reviews and I can attest to that. And I believe that Walmart sells them.

Walmart.com has a dizzying array of tires, more choices than most any tire store. See what they have, read reviews. When you decide you can use their ship to store and they will mount, balance and do the rest. Can't get any easier if they're the only game in town and you don't have to pick from just what they have on the store shelf.
