What Tyre should I buy? - Toyota Yaris Forums

charleschia1986 · 10-16-2011, 09:35 PM

Hi guys,

This might be asked before but may I please ask again.

I am going to replace all four tyres on my 5dr Yaris Hatchback, 2008 model. Can someone give me some suggestion that what kind of tyres or brands should I go for. I am looking for a more budget but with good performance tyres.

thanks a lot.

What size are your rims?

I spared no expense and put on Michelin Harmony in factory size. No performance tire by any means, but very comfortable/quiet, and good for my climate. Look at tirerack.com. Fantastic site with tons of owner reviews to read about tires choices that interest you. The prices posted are pretty close to dealers, but they don't include installation/balancing.

As kimona said, go to Discount Tire (Americas Tire in some areas, it's the same company). The store font locations will match any internet special you see from the website.
I'm running Falken Ziex ZE-512 (205/50-15) tires on 15x6 wheels on my 5 door. No idea what "budget" means to you but I paid $75 per tire, that included mounting and balancing. So they aren't the cheapest tire you can find, but worth the money in my opinion.

Harmony lasts a looong time and are quiet. Traction in the wet is not the
best however hitting standing water at high speed, these things rule and
are about impossible to hydroplane. Best overall M/S tire you can get IMHO.
