And what are you talking about keeping up with a Corolla? A Corolla can't keep up with a Yaris... not even in it's dreams...


Wheels are unsprung weight. Anything the weighs down the suspension is sprung.

Yaris vs. Corolla... Fight!

Yeah... edited. You got the point though.

Any way... the Yaris reacts very well to wheel/tire weight reduction.

Also a good point on the positive side of shortening the gearing. Not a good idea for a DD, but the Yaris would benefit of a shorter ratio for the track or autoX
