Excessive snow/ice build up - Toyota Yaris Forums

Maritime · 02-14-2019, 09:40 AM

I had this terrible on the factory 15" rims on front and back, had to pull wheels 2-3 times a winter and bang snow out, melt ice etc. then when the 15" tires were toast I got a deal on a set of 14" tires and wheels and grabbed them. have not had the issue since. I think the clearance on the calipers and drums is so small on the 14's that there is no space for the snow to collect, melt and re-freeze. the 15's have that .5" more for it to happen. It was bad though, you'd drive in a storm, park the car for the night, go out and drive the next day and the whole car would shake above 90KPH, almost knock your fillings out LOL.
