Summer tires - Toyota Yaris Forums

Voted Star Specs before I read the post, but BFG KDW2's would be my choice if there is lots of wet weather driving involved. Those are what I have on my car right now. My drive to work involves a steep and twisty mountain road and it's been pretty rainy lately. These tires have outstanding dry traction, and wet traction feels almost the same as when it's dry; a slight drag from the water is the only difference I feel. So far they have also lasted twice as long as the last tire I used.

I'd second this.

Like Kimona said The ENVigors would be a nice consideration. Rated for 149Mph and you get 5yr/60000 warranty. Thats what I put on my car and they ride and handle nice. We get our fair share of water in the bayou as well ( alot of low areas ) and its always hot.
