Best tyre size - Toyota Yaris Forums

elijahsami · 07-19-2010, 08:10 AM

Have my eye on a nice set of ssw 16x7 alloys.
What size tyre is the best option 205/45/16 or 205/50/16. My hatch has a TRD suspension and i dont want any rubbing issues.

Thanks

205/45/16 will have less chance of rubbing. So i'd prob go with that. But 50 might work too, depends how much of a drop the TRD springs give. From memory they are only a mild drop. So i think either tyre would be ok.

The OEM size for 16" rims is 195/50R16. I currently run it with NF210 and have no issues.

However, 195/50R16 is a very expensive size.. the next closest size would be 205/50R16. This is what I'll be going with since it's alot cheaper than the 195/50R16s next time around..

Finally made up my mind to go with 195/50R16.
My shortlist are,

Toyo Teo Plus......$165 ea
Falken ZE912........$150 ea
Kumho KH17..........$130 ea

All have mixed reviews, if any one has used any of the above tyres could you please help me choose.
