You can try Hankook K415. Used them before. Quieter than stock Toyos that come with the car. Grip wise is better. No sure the price per tyre. I changed at 85/pc the last time.

Hi, im on stock rim and tyre 185/65/15 toyo j15. Almost 40K but thread still looks okay (or maybe i dont know how to estimate).
Can i change to 195/65/15 tyre without changing my rim? How to determine?

Thanks.

195/65/15 is much better than the stock one. Michellin, bridgestone, yokohama are expensive tires. value for money u can look at hankook, goodyear, kumho. GT radiant.

you can go to 195/60/R15 but your rim should be at least 7" wide. Or else tyre would budge out at the sides.

LS2000 is a perfet fit. No rim change but dont think you can get LS2000 these days

Using Michelin XM1 185/65/15 for the last 3years.  Lasts about 60k km.  Quiet, good grip, long lasting :)

Ya, XM1 is good enough for latio, no need spend more money on PS3.

Unless u turbo charged ur latio, upgraded the suspension n brakes.

Used to use Yokohama DB on my previous ride. I don't find it really quiet. And it's expensive some more.

Tyres around 3.5 years old, but mileage super low (Around 10k a year). Need to change?

Please change, most tyres will harden from 2 years onward. Its a small price to pay for safety.
