Echo winter tires on Yaris?

[xtremesniper]

Hmmm, thanks for the replies guys.

I don't have the model number of the wheels on me right now, but I found this on the Yaris website: P185/60R15 All Season Tires

But mine aren't steel. They're aluminum because I got the RS package.

The winter tires are steel. But yeah I guess it would work either way. I was mainly concerned about handling and fuel efficiency, but now you mentioned the speed readout being affected, and that's something I'd be concerned about as well.

I would consider just driving the Echo around for the winter, but I don't think it'll be too much of a problem. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the front lip of the RS is kind of lower to the ground than normal Yaris bodykits (kinda like this: http://mediap04.toyota.ca/media/yari..._ext_main1.jpg ) so I'd be worried about it being abused by the snow too much.

I'll be removing the lip from my Aero Sedan for this winter when I mount my winters on Sunday. It's only 8 or 10 screws to remove and it's gone.
Between my short rubber and TRD drop I had plumbs of snow launched skyward when I hit the deep last winter. Must have looked cool from outside but having the front end (between facia and rad) packed with snow was less than desirable.

8-10 screws.. and 5 clips. you almost have to remove the whole bumper to gain access to them properly.

I yanked mine off last winter after i went through a snow bump.
