Best Tyres for the Toyota Toyota Yaris XP150

If there’s ever a reliability scoring here, I would rate these tyres 3/10. My daily commute has a few rough roads and punctures were too frequent compared to other tyres. A fairly hefty potholes were able to damage the sidewalls to the point it can’t be salvaged anymore.

Before I had to change this set because the severity of recent damage, the tyres are actually holding up wear pretty well. I bet it still has 10k km left in it. Dry performance is mediocre as expected from an eco-tyre. Road noise is excellent until it gets rather rough in the last couple of thousand kilometers. Comfort-wise it is better than the OEM tyres (bridgestone turanza) but nothing special.

Wet performance is superb, brilliant, I can’t compliment it enough. The car just doesn’t falter in heavy rain and high speed. Even if there were puddles, it would hydroplane slightly and instantly gripped back again.

Overall, this is a pretty solid tyre if it’s used on smooth, pothole-less roads. It has the advantages of an eco tyre plus a few luxury touches. However not recommended for rough road usages.

Tires lasted for 44000km ~ 3.5 years in mixed driving on SEA climate. Replaced because the safety limit grooves are level with contact patch. Grip levels on dry condition is great, and on wet they’re adequate. It can handle a bit of a spirited driving, doing slight slaloms without losing grip. Tire comfort however, is lacking. They generated a lot of noise and bumps aren’t well damped.
