Great set of tyres, got them for 100 per piece less than same sized continentals and they are exemplary in both dry and wet. They feel just at the right balance between comfort and sporty handling. Road noise is very low as well. Would definitely get them again or when prime5 is around . Great job hankook

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Toyota Vios drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Was using Toyo Proxes TR1 previously. The tyre tend to be noisy after 30% wear although Dry Grip and Wet Grip are good. Just changed to this Marshal MU12 after strong recommendation by Tyre Shop. Driven for 1,500km. Everything was better than my expectation compared to my previous set
This is my second set of Pirelli P1s. It got good handling compared to other eco-grade tires. The sidewall is thick, it feels stable and solid while cornering. But this also comes with some bumpy feelings when driving on uneven roads. It is recommended to lower the cold tire pressure to 33-35 PSI, it would bring a more comfortable ride.
The wet grip is also excellent and feels safe in heavy rain conditions compare to Continetals' eco-grade tires. However, the road noise is relatively louder compared to its Japanese competitors (like Yokohama's ES32), this would be easily noticeable during highway driving conditions.
Since I don't care much about tire noise and will focus more on handling performance, I will still buy it on my next tire change.
If you are looking for a tire in the subcompact category that is sportier and has good wet performance. I think it would be a good choice.
Advantages: Good dry/wet grip and excellent handling
Disadvantages: Loud noise at high speed, a little bumpy on the uneven surface

Since Ive shifted from R17 to R18 on Toyota Vios Gen3 modified, my Kinforest Tyres prove dependable in tight corners on wavy concrete roads. Id been averaging 4,000 kms drive per month mostly highway sprints. I love the riad grip. By far, my favorite tyres until other tryres will surpass the quality.
I was skeptical at first about these because where I got them the tires themselves were made in China, but to my surprise in the beginning. The comfort levels were the best I ever had even comparing to previous Michelin XM2s.
Then next came the grip, I immediately drove 200km+ traveling the highway and the grip was good in both dry and wet, even before the tires was worn in the grip was good enough for my Toyota Vios(Yaris Sedan) to go up to very spirited speeds 150km/h+ even in the wet.
I had them on for about 2 years now with almost 30,000km mileage and sure enough the shallower threads are starting to wear away, but no noticeable reduction in grip. Honestly for this price, this tyre should be worth much more praise. Do not judge a tyre by it's price and country of origin. Well done Nexen.
The tires are awesome, best tire I’ve bought by far, they have lasted 60,000km and still have a lot of thread left, 3 and a half years using them, they handle great even in dirt.
Superb tyre. Feel confident around the corner and braking. Very comfortable around bumps and uneven road.
Not sure about the wear and tear as it is still new. The fuel efficiency also yet to be reviewed.
Good day, I'm from the Philippines, I drive a 2016 toyota vios 1.5 G which is called yaris in the USA, and its fitted with Dunlop SP Sport LM704 tires. I would NEVER buy these tires again, they are too numb at high speed corners, the car understeers like crazy but despite all of these its a quiet, durable and comfortable tire. These are on my car for about 16k kms, and they're still thick.
These are excellent and insanely cheap. Very low road noise, these are by far the most quiet that I have tried. Yet to see how long it will last.
Attracted to Lassa by its pricing and with B wet grip rating. The tire was not as quiet as expected from a sports tire, dry grip was good but during raining season, this driveway Lassa did not perform well. Stopping distance was longer than my previous Michelin PS3.
Would recommend to spend 10-20bucks more to get michelin instead.
