2010 Yaris Sedan manual
242,000 miles

Tires: Factory tires- 70k. Cooper tires - 130k
Battery: 180k
Alternator: 241k
Clutch: still fine
Brakes: still fine
Belt: 200k
Spark Plugs: 100k

I do about 10K miles a month, about 90% hwy
Use full synthetic oil, change every 7K miles
Use a K&N air filter I clean every 40K

I'm curious as to who uses hyper-miler techniques (DFC or coast to stop) when it comes to brakes and tires.

I go above the PSI recommendation from Toyota, but below the maximum as stated on the tire (44 PSI). I keep it at 38-40 PSI. That's about it, up to this point.

Wow. If you keep up that mileage rate (and your engine holds up --- which it very likely will) for another 3 years (or less) you will probably pass (at that point) trini_per4mance as the Yarisworld member who is the original owner with the most stated miles on the original engine (472,000 as of about 4 months ago). He has a different job now, so his mileage accumulation slowed way, way down. These cars are so reliable! One member, Mazilla, bought a courier company with a 20 Yaris fleet. All of the cars had between 350,000 - 500,000 miles on them! He kept one of them (that had had the engine replaced) and now is nearing or has reached 500,000 miles on that car. You'll be passing me in just a few months .
