The original rear tire on my Sportster lasted close to 20,000 miles. It was a Dunlop tire often referred to by Sportster riders as Dunrocks. Great tread life, not so great traction. I replaced them with Bridgestone Spitfires. I only got 8,000 miles on the rear but the miles were more fun :) In the US manufacturers game the EPA fleet mileage requirements by installing low rolling resistance tires. You can get LRR tires with compounds that increase tire life but they cost more. The Yaris is Toyota's cheapest model so the OEM tires aren't premium. Toyota must have gotten a good deal because the first one had Bridgestone Potenzas which are usually sold as a performance tire. They are not optimized for long life.
