Suggestions for new tires - Toyota Yaris Forums

DJPaneno · 05-05-2009, 02:32 AM

I have 15" wheels on my yaris sedan and I'm looking to get rid of my well-worn stock and discount tires.

I'm looking for a set of tires that will last me at least a year and a half, but that can still give me some good stick for doing some canyon driving and such.

Any suggestions?

Falcons, Dunlops, I've had good luck with. Don't get Federals.

i have fuzion ZRi's on my camaro and vs a set of bridgestones and gained a tenth in the 1/4. i know it could be anything but i ran pretty much 14.1 till i put on those tires and then a 14 flat.

also, they didnt harden up when i lit them up like khumo's. i'll never own another set of khumo's unless they're on the wheels i get and i can't afford new.

zri's have a 340 treadwear with a AA and A traction/temp rating
Hri's have a 390 treadwear with a AA and A traction/temp.

and for 70/60 a piece respectively they're really cheap.

If you have the cash: Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs. Non greasy, good even wear, heats up pretty quick for hard driving, decent wet traction, does not kill the wallet.

Which size tyre would you like to go with?

I picked up the direzza DZ101's last week.....

I have a 15" wheel, so 15"'s.
If it can be avoided I don't want to compromise what little power I got due to weight gain.

were they for the 15's or the 18's

808_Yaris · 05-06-2009, 03:13 PM

do you want the tires for performance or leisure?

i guess it's each his own eh? I have them, and I do not like the grip they give on dry. Mostly because of the previous tires i was sporting before

Otherwise, they do pretty good compared to OEM tires.

15's as the trd's are still brand new....

Michelin HydroEdge! They grip like crazy and stop and corner in the rain without a hint of sliding. Best tires I have ever owned.

WolfWings · 05-06-2009, 04:35 PM

HydroEdge, as mentioned above, or Goodyear TripleTred's are pretty awesome tires for all-seasons. If you don't have to deal with snow and ice, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's are another tire, though not as cheap as the alternatives.

mastaofdisasta · 05-06-2009, 05:20 PM

Azenis 615's win my vote. But they might wear out faster than you want to if you are looking for a good all around tire with good longevity and i dont tihnk they are all that great in rain

808_Yaris · 05-06-2009, 07:30 PM

i have yokohamas and they're pretty good!

PHXDEMON · 05-06-2009, 08:39 PM

I ahve Toyo proxes4 on mine. They are a little expensive (120 a tire) but great grip and they last pretty long but they suck in the rain. That doesn't really matter to me though because I'm in AZ.
