How many miles before you had to replace brakes, tires, battery, etc ... - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

fnkngrv · 05-04-2010, 01:14 PM

You should have received a maintenance manual when you purchased?

hyprmiler · 05-04-2010, 01:32 PM

sadly no...

I guess I'll go buy one

why? · 05-06-2010, 11:41 AM

only thing i've needed to change was the tires at about 40k. Of course i decided to get new wheels too.

I work for a restaurant, we had Honda Civic hatchback (ek), Hyundai accent (2002 or so), echo and yaris for delivery, and the yaris transmissions lasts as long as on other cars, in our case 55-65 000 miles.

But the chassis is quite strong, despite the hundreds of potholes, we almost never change suspension/chassis parts (shocks, bushings, sterring components). My civic 99 (used for delivery mostly) wears faster, but it's almost 10 years older so it's normal I guess, and the transmission doesn't grind.

Good to know all these replacement times.

I sure hope I can get over 40,000 miles when it comes to tires? I have the Bridgestone Potenza factory tires. I hear they are pretty crappy...

I only have about 18k miles the Bridgestones don't seem to be showing any wear yet.

I have had my car for 15 months and it has 10,000 miles on it. The tires are Goodyear and they seem to be holding up just fine.

you should change them as soon as you can stomach it, they are total and utter crap. the one thing they do seem to do better at than my current tire is gas mileage, and not by a lot, that lack of traction and helped them there. Mine lasted about 36k miles.

Dealer just checked my front brake pads last month @ 119,000 miles.

30% worn.

Unbelievable.

I commonly see people who have gone through 2 brake jobs by now, sadly to say that they are typically American cars. At this pace, I will be over 300K before my first brake job.

I would say that is very believable! When I had inspection with 20,000 miles, my mechanic said I have no visible signs of brake pad wear. He said, these brakes are brand new looking and should get you well over 100,000 mi before you need to change them! I guess hypermiling has its benefits

Cheers!

Many factors for break wear. For the yaris, one of the most obvious is the weight of the vehicle vs. a heavy vehicle like a truck... expect the breaks to last longer on lighter vehicles....
& 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).

My tires are at 22,500 miles; psi at 42. They actually look good! I'm looking at keeping them for another 15-20 k. What tires are you using?

Cheers!

My Falken 912s (17") made if for me to only 12k miles...I was pretty pissed to say the least, but even when the wear bars were gone and they pretty much looked like racing slicks then stuck to the road and handled like flypaper. This reminds me that I really need to take a couple pics and post them up!

nookandcrannycar · 03-17-2012, 11:02 AM

Tires - 70k and 140k , Battery - 138k , Brakes - Only 20 percent worn at 207,135 miles. Will hit 208k miles in the next day or two.

nice to see you around here Broody

fnkngrv · 10-22-2012, 10:46 PM

OEM Tires - 28k and they were about bald

Battery - 31k (disclaimer: Car sat for a year while in Afghanistan. Didn't realize that the ECM pulls 500mA at all times so it killed the battery completely requiring replacement)

Pads/Rotors: 75k

Manual tranny - Most likely in the next 25k due to shifting HARD into 3rd

Clutch/Flywheel/Release Bearing - 70k and clutch/flywheel were still in really good shape even with 25k of 8/9psi of boost however the release bearing was shot

Serpentine Belt - 70k and it was chewed badly at that point

Headlamps - Changed them to GE Nighthawks at less than 5k and was one of my best investments.

Sidenote: REALLY need to check my rear brakes I am guessin. They were pulled/checked during annual state inspection in Feb 2012, but still leery at this point.

Wow. Re Maine, just the brake part of the State Inspection puts the entire State Inspection for Texas to shame.
