Scion Ia Tires
While Lexus is the most famous division of major Japanese manufacturer Toyota, not too many people know about Scion, a sub-brand for 13 years. Although no longer a part of Toyota, Scion functions independently by selling its tires across different segments and one such automobile is the iA, rebranded as Toyota Yaris iA. Though similar to the Mazda 2, this sedan is very different in exterior design at the front. Scion iA features a safety system similar to Volvo tires but available at a much lower cost. As a small sedan, the boot is relatively smaller than other standard sedans like the Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic. It is a fuel-efficient compact vehicle that exhibits Toyota’s standard qualities such as top-notch engineering and reliability. To ensure you derive the most from this sedan, get it fitted with suitable tires.
The Scion iA offers a decent power-to-weight ratio as it is a fairly lightweight vehicle. Manually adjustable seating helps the driver and co-passenger feel comfortable and tilt-and-telescopic steering is available. Soft-touch plastics are visible on the dashboard here. All iA models sport FWD for maximum comfort and to make it suitable for a city dweller. Using SimpleScore, here are the best Scion iA tires on the market today.
