& also the tires with less friction due to less weight will result in less wear = more miles before replacement is needed if using the same tire rubber material.
I just purchased a yaris & like seeing the length of time/mileage you obtained prior to servicing the items mentioned.
Another family car is the Pontiac Vibe = Matrix twin and it has over 70,000 miles without servicing brakes. The oem tires went 50,000 miles before replacing.

My brakes were only 20% worn at around 208,000 miles. Yarisworld member trini_per4mance didn't have to get his first brake job until 400,000 miles. I replaced the OEM tires between 69-70,000 miles, the first replacement set of 4 at 140,553 miles and the second replacement set of 4 at 225,562 miles. Each set has exceeded the mileage rating (I think each set was rated at 60k, but one might have been 65k).
