I have Defenders and love them. However, you cant buy them anyplace now in the size we need for the Yaris. You can buy Defenders in the correct size at Sams club, sears etc....but those are considered "Club" tires...not exactly the same Defenders that they sell at a Michelin dealers in other sizes. Still good tires, but with something a little different about them.....just like anything you buy at Sams club.

Call your local Michelin dealer and ask them for the size that fits the Yaris. You won't find them. Other sizes yes. Then, ask them about sams club tires. |

I've just worn out my Defenders in 50k miles. They looked as if I could get another 15~20k out of them, but Costco takes the side of caution. I went in for a flat repair. The tire guy side they were getting close to the wear bars.
I thought I only had around 30k on them, but I never look at my total miles. I just use the B-trip meter for rotation(every 7~8k miles). Anyway, Costco pro rated me and installed 4 new Defenders for a total of $250.  FYI, Defender XT are the box store tires. If they read Defender, they are the every store type. All the Defenders at Costco were XT, except the 185/60/15, as they are Defenders(no XT). IMO, even thoe Costco Stupidly builds there tire centers under capacity, I still feel  about there service(to spite the three hour waits for rotations).Quote:
