Toyota Yaris Ia Tires

The Toyota Yaris iA has worn a couple of hats, being known variously as the Scion iA and Mazda2 over the years. The Yaris iA is a capable 5-door subcompact that’s offered with a few different engine-drivetrain options and a full slate of high-tech features. The Yaris has been offered with a variety of body styles and trim packages, but the main difference between the Yaris and Yaris iA is that the iA variant is a sedan while the standard Yaris is a 5-door hatchback. Both share the same 105 hp 1.5L 4-cylinder engine, with the Yaris iA delivering a stingy 39 mpg on the highway. While the Yaris iA might not be a world-beater in terms of speed and performance, it offers a nicely appointed interior, a low price tag, and the kind of handling and road manners that make a slow-ish car fun to drive.

Here at FORTLUFT, our team has gone through the catalog and put together a list of the best Toyota Yaris iA tires, including premium all-season, all-weather, and performance tires. We then ranked them in Best-Great-Good order and used our SimpleScore system to determine a numerical value for the categories of traction, handling, and longevity for each tire. Ready? Let’s go in for a closer look:

It’s a tire that you can count on for the performance you need in all kinds of weather conditions, with an all-season tread design that’s been proven to perform on the test course and in the real world. General Tire backs the Altimax RT45 with either a 65,000 or 75,000 mile warranty (depending on tire size), and we figured on an outstanding 9.9 SimpleScore for longevity. Year-round traction, braking, and handling are all consisten
