Toyota Yaris Tire Review Highlights

Ecopia 150 is a fuel economy tire with less rolling resistance. So, do not expect this tire to well perform in wet weather! I got this experience from a minor accident during rainny days. Now, I am changing to Dunlop SP Sport J6

The tires are supremely competent on paper and in a dry, analytical manner it ticks the boxes for a good grippy compromise from cold to hot weather. Yet in practice I find these tires really awful. They bring out the worst handling traits on my car (2012 Toyota Yaris) that I never experienced with three other different types of tires I had on the very same car (both summer and winter tires).
My main problem with the Kinergy 4S2 tires is that there is too much movement in them. Torsional flex is generous and lateral movement is extreme. As a result the car is really sensitive to tramlining and following ruts in the road. The car is extremely nervous on the motorway with side wind and gusts. I am sensitive to motion sickness, but I never imagined I would become motion sick behind the wheel going in a straight line. When you demand the sideways grip from the tire (sporty cornering, swerve, evade obstacles) there is so much flex that it will feel like the rear wants to step out. You may get used to it (I have) but it does not inspire confidence.
I have tried if tire pressure has any positive effect on the tires' stiffness, but the effect is rather limited. The standard 2.3 bar for the car was increased to 2.7 bar without a major improvement in responsiveness / feedback. Unfortunately any higher pressures seriously compromises comfort over bumps, which would take away one of the very few good traits of this tire.
Fuel mileage is another factor that has disappointed me: I have a 4.5% increase in fuel consumption compared to my previous WINTER tires (the comparison includes a compensation for differences in the tire radius between the tires and consumption monitoring over at least 10 tank stops in the same season with the same driver and driving style). With the lifespan of my previous tires (60,000km) I can expect to pay for an additional 137 liters of fuel. With current fuel prices that's almost enough to fund a full second set of tires. Enough reason for me to take my losses and start looking for a new set of tires that I do like.

I fitted these on both my GR Yaris and A110 Alpine both road and track. These are by far the best choice economically. On the track they are predictable , grippy and user friendly much like AR1 Quick to come on, great turn in and no snap oversteer. The big surprise is the very creditable wet grip, so good that I have no temptation to change rubber for the winter. The super economy is that one set of wheels is enough. No more lying on the cold ground changing wheels.

These tires get punctured so easily. The cost that I saved when buying them over Yokohama has been exceeded by frequent trips to puncture shops. I was using Hankook Optimo K415 before these. Hankook was better in all aspects except noise

Always a Goodyear fan i purchased a used Yaris Hybrid in 2022. I looked for Efficient Grip Performance 2 but my tire dealer said that they will come after 3 months and i could not wait cause it had some worn Firestones on it. So he proposed the Duragrip. After 2 years and 20.000 km on them they start to worn pieces on edges! I don't know why Goodyear still produce a tire of 2007!!! Dry grip it's very good, wet grip good but noise and comfort average. I'll go for Falken next time because my newer Toyota had fit from factory and i am surprised with their comfort, low noise and grip!

While they have good grip on dry and wet and good fuel consumption, wear is poor. Despite rotation the front is now after less than 15000 miles down to 3mm and back 4mm. Also, one of the tire has a split on the side (I have rather gently hit the kerb but the split is on the opposite side with no sign of external contact at this point) so I need to replace them. As they were fitted to a new car I have not checked the initial tread high, but if indeed it is only 6.5 - this is another reason to avoid them. I suppose, if the initial tread was as on other tires, they would not wear so quickly.

Driven 50k kilometers for 7 years. Tire is generally Ok. Still have 4 mm tread depth. Still no grip issue but considering replace due to micro cracks seen on tread.

These are my favorite 3 season tires for my modified Yaris. The turn-in feel rivals track day tires. I actually used to track on these tires and they were just fantastic given what type of tire they are. They are firm but not too stiff. I briefly tried another brand of tires when my first set of AS05s wore out and it just ruined the car for me, I actually stopped driving it as much. Then I bought another set when they went on clearance to make room for the new AS07. I did not get the 7s as I read they were not as good and sharp as the 5s. Getting them back on the car was like old hat. It all came right back and I started enjoying the car again. I generally do not leave them on for snow as I have snow tires on the original wheels but the 2 times Ive been caught in snow they were manageable enough.

Great tire but got a slow leak in a 500 miles of use
Previously, I had the Toyo Proxes Comfort, which I replaced with the Seasonproof1. I chose these tires based on the promises of the old model, which has been further improved. The tire feels safe, stable on the road, and the steering is quite responsive and precise compared to the old Toyo summer tires. Moreover, the car is now much more comfortable and smooth. I haven't tested it in wet conditions yet, but based on my extensive experience with driving and tires, they should perform excellently, especially in heavy rain/sleet. I will update my review soon

Tires are better than i expected. They are quiet and comfortable, strong sidewalls (i bought XL), They have good decent grip in the dry.
bad points:
In 4,000 miles they are at 5mm. they were all 8/9mm new - and im not a harsh driver.
in the wet, sometimes i can feel it slide over and i have to make more of an effort to steer correctly. The road feedback is naff, you cant really feel much.
I’d rate them a 5 overall. cheap, comfortable, quiet. Its no gold star but they are better than i expected.
