The noise was the least of it. Fighting to keep the little Yaris in lane on the highway was a struggle... and sometimes terrifying.

Most are keenly aware that the Yaris tracks poorly with some tread patterns. Having experimented with many tyres, I found the Nitto Neo Gen to be among the worst. However, if you do limited highway miles and don't mind the sound of snow tyres, then the Neo Gen offers some amazing handling characteristics... and wears quite quickly.

Btw, I ran 15's, 16's, and 17's on the Yaris, and I would never recommend 17's... even though they look great!
