Best all-season tires for the Yaris?
I think it's time that I get my Yaris a new set of tires for the winter. The Bridgestone Potenza RE92 tires that come w/ my Yaris have been giving quite a poor performance in the snow/winter time. I almost had 3 accidents already. According to most reviews on 1010tires, the Potenza RE92 tires are definitely a NO and dangerous for the winter.
I cannot afford to have 2 sets of tires; I don't have a storage space for the tires that are not in used. It seems that all reviews point to the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred tires as the best passenger all-season tires. They score the highest in basically all categories: wet, dry, winter/snow, and comfort. The problem is that the TripleTred tires are not available in 185/60R15. I've narrowed the list down to the Michelin Harmony and the Nokian WR. They're both available in 185/60R15. Which one should I go with? Will the WR be that bad in the summer? Will the Harmony suffice for the winter? Also, are the Michelin Harmony, Destiny, and X Radial perform exactly the same? Some people say that they are the same tires for sale at different locations. However, when I checked their patterns, they are not exactly the same - although similar. Lastly, will the tires with different but similar geometry (fitting on the original/stock wheels) distort the odometer reading, or affect the car performance and fuel consumption negatively? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance. |
