help me make up my mind real quick - Toyota Yaris Forums

matthewai · 11-13-2011, 04:54 PM

just wanna get some feedback from anyone that knows about any of these tires (sizes, rubbing, look, weight, ect...) (if the speedo will be off) any input will be greatly abbreciated
im not to worried about winter driving as i just dont really think having an all season or winter tire will make that much of a difference than a "performance" or summer (dry) tire if it gets bad i just wont drive. i have stock 15 steelys and the mi lowering springs

thanks again people

I dunno, I'm running Falken performance tires on mine and I wouldn't dare take them out with snow on the streets. All season/winter tires actually make a HUGE difference. I say this because one winter with just an couple of inches of snow I couldn't even get to the end of my street before losing traction. Ended up sliding through the intersection.

Now when there's snow on the roads or a threat of a snow storm, I take the Jeep.

dude, you never actually wait for people's opinions, lol

matthewai · 11-24-2011, 07:50 PM

dude this isnt the only place i go for peoples opinions about cars

Black_griffin6 · 11-24-2011, 09:03 PM

Dunno about you but i'm probably going to get Dunlop Direzza star specs in a 205-50-16.
I've heard a lot of good things about them.

matthewai · 11-24-2011, 10:02 PM

yeah those would actually have been choice # 2 for me but im happy with the 195/55/15 just got them on and they seem fine . the only reason i decided not to go with the 205 is cuz they would have been heavier and skinny tires are better for snow even though the gforce is a "dry" tire i think the fact that its new tred i think itll be fine this winter
