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.

Im running on falken ze 950 and did run it in the end of the winter just to see how they work...was surprised at how good it was in snow and over all winter driving...no i would not replace my snows with it but would run them if that was my only option on a budget. Also they dont wonder or are noise + have awesome tread life....just my 2cents on this, its a new tire for 2014 from Falken at a great price.
