Indeed, I found that tread design on the Yaris makes a huge difference when it comes to highway wander on both cut and smooth surfaces!

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I was hoping for a recommendation for a good Yaris tire?

Thanks.

I put Michelin Defenders on mine a few months back. I believe they are 90,000 mile tires. So far, I cannot complain about them.

what are you looking for? Performance? Gas mileage? long life? That will decide which way to go.
