I would like to know what would be a good size tire to run on stock rims, with Tein Stech springs and TK blue shocks? I'm looking at 205-55-15 or 195-55-15. I prefer the 205 but don't know if I'll have rubbing issues. Please let me know

Hi Everyone, Im new here with my new bought Yaris I 2001 1.3vvti.
It has 175/65/14 steel wheels with ET probably 45 or 46. I'm wondering if 7Jx15 ET38 with 195/50/15 tire wouldn't be just perfect? In this size 195/50/15 comes so many tires - the choice would be huge. Also - 195/50/14 is cheaper sometimes than 185/60/14 or 175/65/14 !! So I think the best of the best choices for now to me Yaris will be this setup: 7Jx15 ET38 4x100 54.1mm with Uniroyal Rainsport or Rainexpert tires 195/50/15. The cheapest chips aye? The Australian. |

Yes, you can run 205/40's without any problems whatsoever... but WHY would you want to do that???

Yes will affect performance, acceleration and breaking will be quicker (due to a smaller diameter) it's going to feel peppier, and will turn corners faster No It won't damage gearbox Your speedo will read a 3 or 4 MPH faster than actual (at highway speeds) aprox. The gap between tire and fender will be bigger Your ride will be harder (less rubber) you may feel bumps more than before. I'm not an expert on the topic but I hope it helps, I'm sure other YarisWold members would have something to say, specially the ones that have done this exercise! What is your goal changing tires size? . |

195/50/15 are much cheaper than 195/55/15.
I have 2001 model and next week I'm fitting 15x7 ET38 rims with 195/50/15 tires. Not lowered. |

Will a larger diameter tire which will lower engine revs give me better fuel economy? Most of my driving in on the freeway. The stock tire is 175/65/R14.
I can get the Michelin Hydroedge in: 185/65/R14 185/70/R14 or 195/70/R14 (assuming this tire will fit the clearances) While bigger tires are heavier and less efficient, they will also raise the effective gearing,lowering the engine revs which should benefit MPG's right? Thanks in advance for the help with this. Todd |

Allright folks.
Getting some +45 ET RP03's - 17x7. Are 215/45/17 the rec tires for this? I am lowered about 1.5 inches. I see the diameter is more. So maybe 215/40 or 205/40? Confused?!?! Thanks! Last edited by sleey0; 09-03-2010 at 12:51 AM. |
