2008 Toyota Yaris Service, Tires & Repairs

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Yaris tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Next, consider your driving style. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Browse Toyota Yaris tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.
