These are terrible. I still had 7/32 inch after almost 20k miles, but switched them out as my daughter drives this car and they are terrible in the wet.

Fitment comes from each tire'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 Scion XD drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Start with the good. They are quiet, comfortable i.e. soft sidewall tires. They seem to be wearing well although only had them for 2k miles. They're cheap. Probably the cheapest name brand tire I could find in my size. They handle ok in the dry for acceleration & braking. Cornering grip is ok as well. Trying to keep this in perspective as my daily has 200TW RS4 tires.
Rolling resistance is decent but not great. My Scion is averaging 27mpg mixed highway/city. Would expect something in the 30's without hypermiling.
Now the bad. Wet weather traction is terrible. Could be wet or standing water. Car will spin on acceleration even in 2nd & 3rd great & this is in a car with about 80hp. Cornering in the wet is terrible. You have to drive like a granny not to slide. Braking in the wet is the only area oddly enough where it's ok.
Extremely satisfied. Have it on both of my Scion XDs. I cant describe how good were they on the snowy Connecticut hills. Cars were stuck right and left, but I was going. Even after complete stop, going uphill in the snow storm. In the Scion XD, for Gods sake!! Same thing on the wet road- very good.
Cant say much about "handling", "road feedback" or "comfort" - to be able to say something about it, you gotta be a specialist in it. By the time I can say something, I, usually, forget how it was on the "other" tires. So I'll stay quiet on that. But, if you are to drive in the snow - those are, so far, the best I have ever had. And I put those 50 000 miles without bothering to take em off for a summer. Drove whole year round. They lasted for, like, four years. Don't even remember for sure.
