14" or 15" - Toyota Yaris Forums

KrazyDawg · 09-13-2010, 12:50 PM

When you purchased your Yaris, did it come with 14" or 15" tires? My Yaris came with 15" tires when I purchased it from Enterprise. On AmericasTire/Discount Tire they list 14" as the OEM size and 15" is listed as a plus size, however TireRack lists both 14" and 15" as OEM options.

Which size would be more fuel efficient with LRR tires?

Here in Australia we have three models
YR- came stock with 14"OEM's with a 1.3L Engine
YRS- 15" OEM i with 1.5L
YRX- YRS with a bodykit and other extras

My 09 sedan came with 15" steelies OEM. I upgraded to 16" later though. I would think (as long as you don't add a lot of weight) that a larger wheel would be more efficient, allowing further distances to be crossed with less RPM.

Not really. The part about the rpm's is only true if the tire is taller, meaning the outside diameter is more. This will also make your speedometer and odometer inaccurate, which will make your mileage calculations incorrect.

Wouldn't the overall OD increase with larger wheels though?

Also, the larger the wheels and tires are, the more extra force they will take to rotate, and this can add up to lower gas mileage.

I think the old thought that I have seen a ton is that for every added 1 lb on the edge of the tire, wheel, it is like 4 lbs above the suspension.

Toyota dealers don't even have 14" wheels listed as ever coming on the Yaris. I think they only came on 2006 & 2007 Yari.

.Kevin. · 09-14-2010, 02:36 AM

pretty sure my stocks were 15 steels

landrym28 · 09-14-2010, 08:48 PM

My 07 sedan base model had 14". I think with the 08's and newer, the base models come with 15".

M4One · 09-14-2010, 08:54 PM

I think it depends on the country and model. My 2007 Canadian Yaris hatch was 14" stock, but I think in the U.S. it might have been 15".

thebarber · 09-15-2010, 12:12 AM

US models almost always got 15" wheels/tires...

canadian non-RS models came w/ 14's from 06 to early 08 models....

my 07 came w/ 14" steelies and 175-65-14's....about 3.5% shorter than 185-60-15's, btw

chrisj · 09-15-2010, 12:52 AM

Mine came with 14's.

*kimona* · 09-15-2010, 02:09 AM

I thought all US models came with 15" wheels as standard.

BTW, my car's speedo (with 185/60/15's) was innacurate right out of the box. Now, with the taller 205/50/16's the speedo is dead on, and the tripmeter is accurate right to the 10th of a mile.

Red Horse · 09-15-2010, 03:52 AM

15" in US, in other country they made it cheap so they use 14"

why? · 09-15-2010, 01:39 PM

I don't know if I call it cheap, I mean my 14"'s are definitely not cheap, and I am not the only one with them.

yarisugi · 09-15-2010, 06:35 PM

OEM 14" steelies w/hubcaps on base model
