    with the weather conditions of the last week driving conditions on the country roads have deteriated .. water logged , mud, muck & fallen leaves

    I have decided to change the tyres on the daughter's T Yaris sooner rather later.

    Need advise for best tyres (155/80 R13) for above conditions only other concern other than grip would be low ground noise as the car seems a tad loud on some road surfaces

    Thanks in a advance.

    +1 for Vredesteins

    The tyre size is going to limit the range of available options, i'm afraid.

    What you need is a set of 225,45,r18. Double up on size means you wont sink in bog land;) On a more serious note your really restricted on tires from the size wheel. Best place to go is to advance and im sure they will have a few ideas for you.

    Pirelli P3000 are an option too

    seriously though, we've ran with Vredesteins on the cars we have for the last 10 years, excellent tyres

    Stay away from Nankang and you'll be fine.

    My tyre fitter calls them "Ditchfinders" or sometimes the "Panel Beaters Best Friend" :D
