You can get those tires from Tirerack.com in the right size for your Yaris, they just change the 14 for a 15 which is the size of your rim in inches of course. It seems like this thread had some more info about LRR's but if not it's in the LRR thread, though I can't remember what the thread title is right off.
I have those tires on my Yaris already, albeit in a different size than the "Honda Insight" ones. I don't know how size affects rolling resistance, so I'm not sure if my RR is more or less than with other sizes of that tire or not. What I'd really like to see is some kind of database where you could search by make and model, and the database would show results sorted by fuel efficiency. That doesn't seem to exist yet.
