Suggestions for new tires

[DJPaneno]

I have 15" wheels on my yaris sedan and I'm looking to get rid of my well-worn stock and discount tires.

I'm looking for a set of tires that will last me at least a year and a half, but that can still give me some good stick for doing some canyon driving and such.

Any suggestions?

Falcons, Dunlops, I've had good luck with. Don't get Federals.

i have fuzion ZRi's on my camaro and vs a set of bridgestones and gained a tenth in the 1/4. i know it could be anything but i ran pretty much 14.1 till i put on those tires and then a 14 flat.

also, they didnt harden up when i lit them up like khumo's. i'll never own another set of khumo's unless they're on the wheels i get and i can't afford new.

zri's have a 340 treadwear with a AA and A traction/temp rating
Hri's have a 390 treadwear with a AA and A traction/temp.

and for 70/60 a piece respectively they're really cheap.

If you have the cash: Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs. Non greasy, good even wear, heats up pretty quick for hard driving, decent wet traction, does not kill the wallet.

Which size tyre would you like to go with?

I picked up the direzza DZ101's last week.....

I have a 15" wheel, so 15"'s.
If it can be avoided I don't want to compromise what little power I got due to weight gain.

were they for the 15's or the 18's

do you want the tires for performance or leisure?

i guess it's each his own eh? I have them, and I do not like the grip they give on dry. Mostly because of the previous tires i was sporting before :thumbup:
Otherwise, they do pretty good compared to OEM tires.

15's as the trd's are still brand new....

Michelin HydroEdge! They grip like crazy and stop and corner in the rain without a hint of sliding. Best tires I have ever owned.

[WolfWings]

HydroEdge, as mentioned above, or Goodyear TripleTred's are pretty awesome tires for all-seasons. If you don't have to deal with snow and ice, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are another tire, though not as cheap as the alternatives.

Azenis 615's win my vote. But they might wear out faster than you want to if you are looking for a good all around tire with good longevity and i dont tihnk they are all that great in rain

[808_Yaris]

i have yokohamas and they're pretty good!

[PHXDEMON]

I ahve Toyo proxes4 on mine. They are a little expensive (120 a tire) but great grip and they last pretty long but they suck in the rain. That doesn't really matter to me though because I'm in AZ.

they definitely took a lot of breaking in and getting used to.. especially with how i drive.. but now.. they are good.. just took like a month to break in

[DJPaneno]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, appreciate the input. :thanks:

I'm not planning on racing otherwise I might go with some of the more sticky tires; I'm moreso looking for something that I'll be able to get some decent longevity out of while making my drives around the area and the local mountains more fun.

Now I'm considering either the Yokohama S. Drives or the Dunlop Star Specs. The Dunlops look a bit pricier than Yokohama, if they aren't too big of an upgrade up from the Yokohama's I'll probly go w/ the S. Drives.

I'm riding a pair of 2½ year rundown stock tires (Potenza) & a pair of cheap Tigerpaw tires so whatever the choice its sure to be a big difference. :thumbup:

^ Yes it will! :thumbsup:

If your stock potenzas lasted 2.5 years, longevity isn't really an issue for your driving style, and any of the tires suggested here will make twisties more fun.

the sdrives have a threadwear of 300 and have very strong sidewalls.. i had a bolt go into the tread of my tire & it didnt flatten at all.. just heard the thumping.. and it was HUGEEEEEEEEE bolt! i was able to drive on it to the tire shop to be fixed.. and in which case, americas tire fixed it for free(which is one of the many awesome things they do along with ur tire purchase..)
