I've got Hankooks on my 07, good tires! I'll buy the same when these wear out.

Went with Hankook 727 from TireRack.com Got 4 delivered for 331 and got a mail in rebate 0f 40. Mount and balance at walmart included disposal of old tires for 48 so Total cost for the 4 tires was 340 dollars...............Great price for 4 hankook 727 tires

So i just found out the tire size on my car is 185/60/15 ... should i stick to that size?

and since discount tire upped their hankook's to $100, and tirerack has them for $72 plus shipping, does anyone have feedback on tirerack since they'll come out cheaper?

if not, i'll go through amazon (they're out of stock on the 185/60/15's but have free shipping and are relatively close in price to tirerack)

I would replace with these from discounttiredirect.com

IMHO, the 195/60/15's make for a much better fitment on the Yaris... and the price is excellent with the rebates, plus free shipping!

thank you (: so it won't be a safety problem or anything changing the tire size?

nope. The size is REALLY close to cause any kind of problem. In fact you'll be getting more thread width, therefore improving your grip a bit.

Tires are the only thing that phsyically connect your car to the ground.... don't' skimp on these. By a decent set.

The Continental Pro Contact Eco Plus are working very well for the '08 sedan , seems like a different car when it comes to the ride , handling , and noise level . They were $92 each , before tax .

Problem is some inexpensive off-brand tyres can be very "decent" while some name-brand pricey tyres can be crap.
