Tire/wheel question... - Toyota Yaris Forums

CanIHazYarisHatch? · 12-05-2011, 02:56 PM

I will be picking up a 2012 Yaris L w/the pressed steel wheels and was wondering, can I have the tires taken off and put on another set of rims?

Namely, this set: http://www.toyota-parts.com/scripts/...idproduct=-312

Or do I have to buy a new set of tires in order not to have that hubcap-ladden, "fleet" look?

Thanks.

You can get away with using the stock tires but they are pretty narrow and don't really excel in any of the categories most owners are looking for when shopping for tires.

You can get a much better fitting, looking and performing set of tires for around $350-$400 mounted, balanced and installed on the car with your new wheels and then keep the stock steel wheels/tires as spares or sell them complete to re-coup the cost of the new setup.

Thank you. Duly noted.
