advice needed: which tyre to choose?

Hello

I'm new here and I'm new to driving in general and the Yaris is my very first car. Long story short: one of the car's tires needs replacement and I tried looking online for one and came across two with identical names but different pricing and ratings:

https://www.skruvat.se/dack/dunlop/d...paign=prisjakt


so how do I know which one matches the other 3 on the car?

Thank you in advance for your help

I certainly cannot see a difference. Contact them.

For what it's worth, unless the tyre on side of car opposite one being replaced is very new, it is always recommended to replace tyres in pairs.

Odds are they are both manufacturer specific oem replacement tires. Because of nvh, emissions, mileage, etc, tire companies make multiple versions of tires specifically for manufacturers vehicles.

Thank you both for your answers
Actually one of them is rated "f" for road resistance, "b" for grip and sound level is 69.
The other is "c", "b" and 67, respectively.
Does it matter if I installed two from, let's say, the cheaper one while wrongly having two of the more expensive one in the car?

No. The only thing that really matters in this case is the tyres on each axle need to match each other. You cannot have 3 corners match, and an odd one on the forth corner.

I'm attaching a picture as to why I have been led to believe that I should change my tyre in the first place. What do you guys think? Is it worth it?

I'd replace it. How old are your tyres?

If these are the original tyres, I'd definitely replace all 4 of them.

Definitely time to add 4 tyres to your shopping cart.

I'm not sure they are (I'm not the first owner of the car) but it looks like it. The tyres are not worn out all the way though.

If I were to change all 4 tyres, should I stick to these tyres or do you guys recommend a different brand/model?

I would recommend a different brand than Dunlop.

How about something like this?

Or this?

Speaking from my own experience, Bridgestone Turanza tyres perform reasonably well when new, but quickly become absolute crap!

Yeah. Your tyre is pooched dude. Since the factory Dunlop tyres wore out on my Yaris I've been running Falken tyres on it. Fairly impressed for the price. Grip the road very well. Are less noisy than the Dunlops were. The fronts last 40,000+ miles.

I'm not sure the Yaris is worth putting Michelin tyres on.
