Hi, I'm getting snow tires for the Yaris, however, the brand I wanted doesn't come with 185/60/15, they only come with 185/65/15. Does that fit to the car? Will it create any problem? Thank you.

putting to large of a tire may cause some problems.... I would try 195-60-15 it is just a but larger, but much closer to stock and 185-65-15, and more common

experiment with different sizes and see what would be a closest match with what's available locally :wink:

I checked the tire size calculator already, which the 185/65/15 will gives you 3.1% difference in odometer reading over 185/60/15. Just want to know if this will cause a problem or it should be ok. Thanks.

[coming from an AWD Subaru] - Tire size was very important as the differentials were designed based on running a certain rolling radius. I'm not sure what negative mechanical effects it would have on our cars (if any, other than incorrect readings on the odometer, speedo, etc.)

Does anyone know if the increase or decrease in he radius has any affect on the ABS? I don't THINK so, but wanted to at least put it out there for discussion.

I need help on deciding which winter tires to put on? My yaris came with 185/60-15 tire. However, the stock tire is also available in 175/65-14. I am confused whether they programmed the speedometer using the 15" or 14"?
