Looking for cheap new tires - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

xx_remix · 05-18-2011, 04:06 PM

hate to do a topic revival, but I've got a '09 yaris sedan and was wondering if those hankooks would be good for my car too?

As a chick, I don't know s@#$ about cars so I don't want to shop blindly haha. I got my yaris at about 45k miles (it was previously a rental car from Hertz, so I'm assuming the tires have mainly highway miles) so I *think* it's time for me to get new tires? It's at about 47k miles now I think.

I did a penny test on the tread, and most of the tires barely reach or reach abe's head.

If they are good for my car, I think I'm gonna go with the discount tires direct website because pepboys has these tires for about $100 each x___x;;

and would you think it's necessary I buy the tire replacement warranty? Thanks :)

Yes, the Hankook 727 is an excellent tyre and will work very well on your sedan.

I would recommend replacing with 195/60/15's @ $82 each at discounttiredirect.com

EDIT: Plus, there is currently a $40 discount on the Hankooks... so just $72 each delivered to your door!

I've got Hankooks on my 07, good tires! I'll buy the same when these wear out.

I would replace with these from discounttiredirect.com

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=195

IMHO, the 195/60/15's make for a much better fitment on the Yaris... and the price is excellent with the rebates, plus free shipping!

thank you (: so it won't be a safety problem or anything changing the tire size?

nope. The size is REALLY close to cause any kind of problem. In fact you'll be getting more thread width, therefore improving your grip a bit.

Tires are the only thing that phsyically connect your car to the ground.... don't' skimp on these. By a decent set.

Problem is some inexpensive off-brand tyres can be very "decent" while some name-brand pricey tyres can be crap.

The Continental Pro Contact Eco Plus are working very well for the '08 sedan , seems like a different car when it comes to the ride , handling , and noise level . They were $92 each , before tax .
