What brand are the tires on the Corolla?
2 Answers
The tires on the Corolla are from three brands: Bridgestone, Dunlop, and Yokohama. The tire specifications are 195/65R15 and 205/55R16. The higher-end models come with 205/55R16, while the lower-end models have 195/65R15. This is a common practice by manufacturers, as higher-end models typically feature slightly larger tires. The Corolla's body dimensions are 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1455mm in height. Additionally, the 1.2T Sport version measures 4635mm in length, 1780mm in width, and 1435mm in height.
I've been driving a Corolla for several years, and the tire brands aren't fixed. Usually, the car comes equipped with mainstream brands like Bridgestone, Michelin, or Dunlop, depending on the model year and region. When I bought the car new, I made sure to check the sidewalls of the tires, where the brand name and manufacturing details are engraved; different batches might use different suppliers. The Corolla is a global car, and Toyota frequently switches brands to control costs and risks. I’ve personally experienced Bridgestone tires—they had good grip but wore out quickly. Later, when I changed cars, I got Michelins, which were quieter. I recommend that owners develop the habit of regularly checking their tires—not just the brand, but also the tire pressure and tread depth. Safe driving relies on good tires, and the Corolla’s design makes replacements quite convenient, with common sizes like 205/55R16. Don’t just rely on the original brand; choosing high-quality replacements suited to your driving conditions is more important. For long-distance driving, Michelin is quite reliable.
