Tyres for Toyota Yaris

The Toyota Yaris sold in Pakistan runs 185/65 R15 on lower trims and 16-inch sizes on higher ones. It is a light, efficient car and its tyres have an outsized effect on both fuel consumption and cabin noise — more so than on a heavier sedan, because there is less mass and less sound deadening to mask the difference.

That makes a low-rolling-resistance touring compound a genuinely sensible choice here rather than a marketing line. The fuel saving over a year of city driving is small per tank but real, and the noise reduction on a motorway run is immediately obvious. A sticky performance compound on a Yaris is capability the car was never designed to exploit.

The other Yaris-specific point is pressure discipline. Light cars are proportionally more sensitive to under-inflation — the pressure drop that a Fortuner would shrug off will visibly scrub a Yaris's shoulders. Check monthly, and check when the tyres are cold rather than after a drive. We will set them correctly whenever the car is in, whether or not you are buying anything, and the pressure check costs nothing. Fitting, balancing and an alignment check are included with every set we sell.
