I wonder about those 'reviews'. If it was written by a 'customer', you're probably dealing with some kid with a Honda V-TEC or Scion that drives too fast for conditions. The ONLY complaints I hear about the Potenzas come from kids that spin the wheels off their cars.
I have 2 year old RE92s on my Scion, and they are great on dry pavement, and I have not had any trouble in the rain. I have a 2.4L engine producing
165HP and have yet to 'loosen' the tires. Considering the Yaris is, IIRC a 1.5 L 112 HP engine, I doubt you'll have a lot of trouble with the tires.Too bad they're not 16"...I'd buy your 'used' tires.
I certainly would not recommend them in snow...
