Just get the General Tire Altimax RT43. If you look up the reviews on them, many people got them up and past 70k miles, and it's rated very good for dry and wet conditions, and good snow conditions.

Those are the tires I'll be getting, but I'll be getting 195/50/60.

Those are some tall wheels you have. How's the speedo accuracy?

And Pinchlite don't leave the forum. There are so few of us Yaris guys as it is. Stick around!

Thanks and will stick around but wil do more research before quickly posting here for help.

Not too worried about speedo as I have a good feel as to what speed I
am going.I also go with the flow and drive slowly,safely,responsibly in town and school zones.I think it comes down to common sense and knowing what speed is appropriate for what environment and climate.Never had a speed ticket yet.

I may use a gps app to get an idea what my speedo is reading compared to real world.Should give me a good ball park.

Not available you say...

Also, the speedo will change by ~3% from what yours currently indicates so nothing earth shattering, just different.

Got installed today and super happy.Rode heavy rain on the way back and they felt real smooth and quiet,also got rid of more gappage.

Will take pic tomorrow perhaps and post.

The guys at kaltire like the yaris and said it sounded nice aswell..not loud and ricey.Glad I went with the Megan axleback.

Man I love this little thing

The red makes a somewhat simple interior pop,adds a sportiness to it.
