How many miles before you had to replace brakes, tires, battery, etc ... - Toyota Yaris Forums

Good to know all these replacement times.

I sure hope I can get over 40,000 miles when it comes to tires? I have the Bridgestone Potenza factory tires. I hear they are pretty crappy...

I only have about 18k miles the Bridgestones don't seem to be showing any wear yet.

I have had my car for 15 months and it has 10,000 miles on it. The tires are Goodyear and they seem to be holding up just fine.

you should change them as soon as you can stomach it, they are total and utter crap. the one thing they do seem to do better at than my current tire is gas mileage, and not by a lot, that lack of traction and helped them there. Mine lasted about 36k miles.

Dealer just checked my front brake pads last month @ 119,000 miles.

30% worn.

Unbelievable.

I commonly see people who have gone through 2 brake jobs by now, sadly to say that they are typically American cars. At this pace, I will be over 300K before my first brake job.

I would say that is very believable! When I had inspection with 20,000 miles, my mechanic said I have no visible signs of brake pad wear. He said, these brakes are brand new looking and should get you well over 100,000 mi before you need to change them! I guess hypermiling has its benefits

Cheers!

My tires are at 22,500 miles; psi at 42. They actually look good! I'm looking at keeping them for another 15-20 k. What tires are you using?

Cheers!

My Falken 912s (17") made if for me to only 12k miles...I was pretty pissed to say the least, but even when the wear bars were gone and they pretty much looked like racing slicks then stuck to the road and handled like flypaper. This reminds me that I really need to take a couple pics and post them up!
