You should have rotated twice and balanced once, at least, if not more than that. Strange tire wear should be expected if you don't rotate, and ya the rears can go faster. Also, nothing unbalances a wheel faster than burnouts.

Ya the stock tires are low mileage tires I had mine changed out at 38 k not much thread left, I got some
Toyo winter tires on now but in spring will get some high mileage All seasons put on.

[yaris2010RS]

now everyone keeps saying stocks are shitty and will wear faster, but my tires only have between 38000 and 39000 km on it, that means ~23000 - 25000 miles. that seems very shitty......

i am really tempted to go to toyota and get my alignment checked (hopefully i can convince them for free) cuz i do not understand how my rear end basically dog legs across the road and eats the tires....

My OEM Potenza's were shot well before I replaced them at ~60,000 kms. They appear to have the wear characteristics of HP tires, meaning they are relatively soft and quick to wear down.

Time to start reading all of the various tire recommendation and review threads on here and figure out what your replacements will be.

And to the OP, the word is WORN

Never says he bought the car new just that he had dash issues. And the dealer can reset the mileage on new dash units to orginial mileage so there is no change in the mileage.

Tell me you're not going to drive through the winter on Goodyear LS.
It only took 1/4" of snow for me to see the light and bolt up some winter boots. I honestly thought I'd not make it home from work. Brampton to Burlington due to zero grip and a hilly route.

I have pretty crappy tires that came with my Yaris, that I bought brand new at the dealership. 3 out of 4 of my tires have had a nail in them! So now its about time I get new ones, but which kind?

i was told by dealer to ahve it changed they would have to send it away and it wasnt worth it (for the 4xxx that the dash showed, unknown that it was about 9000)

No where in this thread has he mentioned that he bought the car new. Maybe in a former thread but how the hell am I suppose to know, look at every thread in the history of the blog.

I have 43,000 miles on my Yaris and my tires still look almost brand new. I did rotate my tires before the beginning of summer as the fronts had a little wear on them. I thought about getting new tires but its just stupid to pay for new tires when the OEMs will last a good while.

Not sure why some are getting such poor performance from the OEM tires. I have the Bridgestone OEMs, maybe there are other providers to Toytoa.

Some of you guys drive with more PSI than the tire is rated for and that might cause premature wear.

Overinflation could be a cause, but I'm guessing 43000 on an 09 means mostly highway, which gets you the most miles out of your tires(no sharp turns).

^^ hey hey hey u too, are u trying to steal my thread? lol, jksjks.

just an update, i know this will probably be old news to most of u, toyota employees are about as dumb as they get.... (sorry to anyone who works at toyota, maybe u work at a good dealership)

i looked at my front tires and they are very good, i can get another 25000km on them without getting to the stops without issue, now the rears on the otherhand have about half of that of the fronts. i will be going by toyota hopefully with in the next week and getting the rear of my car diagnosed.

I rotate mine in the garage every other oil change. Granted I have an air wrench for the lug nuts. But it takes about 10 minutes for me to do all 4, considering jacking up the car and such. Makes a big difference in tire wear. My OEM Goodyears look like new at 15k miles

[WeeYari]

Hmmm....j/k

[nemelek]

Looks fun. I was practicing some snow cornering this morning.

Oddly enough, the Potenza's are expensive. $101 on Tire Rack. You can get tires that will last twice as long, and perform twice as good for about $60.

Look at the pathetic reviews from owners...

For survey comparison, here's some General Altimax for $67 (which I bought)
and these are rated at 55,000 miles.

I still have OEM tires on the rear. I think I rotated twice since new. I now have 104,000 miles on the rear stock tires. I did a lot of highway miles on them. I got around 60,000 or more on the fronts. The rear tires are close to the wear bars. The Bridgestone are excellent tires. I plan to get another 5k miles on the rear tires then replace with the fuel saver tires.
110,000 miles is hard to beat on the Bridgestones. I ran 32 pounds in the tires. Maybe you ran with too much air in the tires
