ya...i was gonna say that's not the OEM crappy bridgestones that came from the newer yaris. i have 21k and i'm widdled down to near nothing. with a 160 treadwear rating you'd think they were slicks or something

any way, i love michellin. too bad for me though that i can never afford 4 at one time so i settle for fuzion, firestone or bridgestones. mostly summer performance only since i live near the sun belt.

Echo did no come with Michelin either. I bought it when it had 60k miles and now I got 152,000 miles on it. I know the previous owner, they put a lot of good extras into this car like cruise control, Alpine hi-end stereo and a set of Michelins as 50k. I plan to keep this car for a while :)

you should've gotten more from the potenza's... I'm at 38k miles and still have 5/32nds on the front and 4/32nds on the rears for tread.

It's not looking like i'll be going home (E. Washington) until spring, so I shouldn't have to worry about driving in snow... therefore I might not have to replace these until summer 2010. By that time I should have around 50k on the yaris.
