Putting new tires on my '08 yaris soon... what do I need to know? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Thanks so much WeeYari- definitely a good resource to have.
Unfortunately I think the michelin defenders are going to be a little too expensive, but I'm still going to see what I can do. For now, definitely considering the two types of tires that Hershey recommended. I'll be sure to post the results when I finally decide.

For now, I've run into a bigger issue. I don't actually know what size the tires are. I know that the original tire size (from the factory) was either 175/65/R14 or 185/65/R14. The tires on there now are Yokohama Avid-Touring S, and the size is 195/60/R15. Does that mean I should go with that size?

(note: i bought the car used from a toyota dealership about two months ago. i'm 99% sure they didn't put new tires on the car when i bought it)
