oem goodyear ls tire - Toyota Yaris Forums

we all know what a 'great' tire the oem goodyears are -right?

well, i'm still running them right now and i'm not looking to buy a whole new set of decent tires until i can get them with wheels mounted. anyways, if anyone has just one goodyear ls tire laying around i would be willing to purchase it because i destroyed one of mine and would like to replace it with a matching tire to the set. i've got just less than 25K on my original set and i've rotated them so they have at least 50% tread left. i know it might be hard to find a matching tire with similar treadwear so if anyone can offer me a SUPER-DEAL on an entire set they don't need i'll consider it(if shipping isn't too crazy). obviously, local pickup is prefered because shipping is probably more than the tires are worth, but i'm willing to drive a couple hours to get them(from indianapolis, indiana). let me help you clear out space in your garage!

Just and FYI (and this might just be for me), but my last 50% of tread or so went MUCH faster than the first half. I religiously rotate tires and even do an alignment on it at least once a year. My tires were at about 50% at 25K, and had almost nothing when I replaced em at 34K.

So, just keep a weathered eye on em'

And good luck finding a tire!

thanks! my wife does say i drive like an old lady sometimes so maybe i'll get better wear.

Lol so you mean you sit like 2 inches from the steering wheel and can't see over the dash? Or do you drive 25 mph everywhere (lol or 85 mph)? And don't forget the blinker

Haha j/k Toad.

I drive mine pretty hard. Especially through the mountains out here. When this car falls apart, lol it will definitely be deserved

are you wanting the steel wheels too? i might have a set for sale.

thanks, but i don't need the steel wheels. already got one set i don't like looking at :SMILE: however, you're local and i might be able to work something out involving paying for removal if the price is good enough on the tires themselves! this time of year you shouldn't have any trouble finding someone to buy just the wheels to put winter tires on. pm me if interested.
