New tires and wheels for stock suspension - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks, guys. Kimona, you mean the tires will stick out a little bit wider past the fender? Is the Yaris somewhat asymmetrical and one side will stick out more than the other? I suppose that doesn't bother me. So long as it doesn't pose a daily driving issue, a little cosmetic blemish is cool. I think the improved handling granted by wider, better tires is worth it.

Are the Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires known for wandering? I chose those tires being that I live in the snowbelt region of the country. While I plan to get snow tires, sometimes the snow hits us unexpectedly and I'd like to have the competence of an all-season vs a summer-only tire.
