The tire monitoring is great for leaks that develop while driving on a long trip, but nothing will take the place of a good manual tire pressure gauge used every two weeks. How many people do this? Safety is #1, and tire pressure is critical to your safety.

205/60-15 tires on stock 2007/08 "S" rims???? by 488

The tire "calculater" indicates that 205/60-15 and the stock 195/65-15 tires are the same height.
I would like to upgrade the stock tires to something better using the stock "S" rims. Consumer Reports rated the Goodyear TripleTred as the best of the ones they tested. I would also like to go to a more "sportier" look and therefore the 60 series tire. Any comments would be appreciated.

Replacing the little 'doughnut' spare with a full size tire by hike

I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla sedan and was thinking about replacing the 'doughnut' spare with a full-size tire mounted on a generic steel rim.
 
Can I get a full sized tire in the spare tire well in the trunk floor and replace the cover over it without it sticking up?

The second number of a tire size is the height of the side wall and the percentage of the first number.
 
So, 60% of 205 = 123.
And, 65% of 195 = 126.75.
 
Thus, the 195/65-15 has a higher side wall and is a "higher tire".

I was able to do it in my '96 Corolla without a problem. To be sure, you could either measure one of your full size tires on the car, and the spare well to see if it'll fit, or take one of the full size rims with the tire on it, off the hub and try it in your spare well. Good luck!

I have a 1995 Corolla and the spare wheel does not lay flat and makes the boot look uneven with the carpet on top. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Need new tires after 9100 miles on new car by haley126

Leasing 2009 Toyota Corolla and had 2nd oil change and tire rotation yesterday. Mechanic advised all 4 tires showed 4/32 tread remaining and suggested 4 new tires soon. Have driven car about 11 months and we are senior citizens and drive only 55 mph in 65 mph zones for better gas mileage. Also have tire pressure monitor. Car used for personal use only and there are no other drivers besides my wife. I weigh 160 lbs and wife weighs about 125 lbs and we carry nothing else except us and groceries. I emailed Toyota and I know there is no mileage warranty on original equipment tires but this is ridiculous. Anybody else have similar problems with Firestone Affinity tires??? Next letter goes to our state Attorney General if Toyota declines any adjustment and I will contribute a maximum of 25% towards cost of replacement tires.
