The tread on an A048 195 tire puts more rubber to the ground than my BF Goodrich 205's in the same height series. Look at the shape of the sidewall -- definitely differences to be found between brands.

although if comparing similar types of tires you can have a good gauge.

A048s vs R888s would be a good comparison.

RE760Sports vs BFG KDW2s

etc.

looking into measured section and tread width on a given wheel width tells a lot more then the sidewall #s.

a little article on the topic.

just to show the differences. And no you can't run that size tire on a yaris.
