Does anyone know if the tC's stock tires bald up fast. I've had my tC for almost 9 months now and i already need to change the tires. This never happened with my old car and was wonder is this is normal or not for a tC. Thanks.

Depends on how you drive the car and how many miles are on it. Plus, the stock tires suck.

The stock tires do suck, there a very soft tread. Just remember to keep rotating them and keep your tire pressure good when you buy your new ones it'll help prolong the life of the tires.

im running balds too, i forgot to rotate OH WELLZ LOL

^ I go through tires like crazy! 33,000 miles on my car and I'm on my 5th set lol.

Kurt...thats just wrong LOL

1 of those sets were from the flat spots... lol i'm kidding...

9k on my first set, and that much almost cost me the car in the rain once...

Otherwise, 72k, and i need set number 4 now. IF u want high tread life, give up performance...

i can't remember how much i put on mine but i know i at least had 20,000 miles

The stock tires do suck, but I got 2 years 34k out of the turanza's that came on my car. They were pretty bald at the end but they did fairly well for my driving style.

correct, what is the mileage on your tires. being that they're low profile tires, they have a shorter tread life than regular tires. mine lasted about 25k miles. funny thing though, my mothers 05 subaru legacy 2.5 gt had the same stock tires as my tc did, but she got over 50k out of them. didn't replace them until she came back to it one night and the tire was blown out!

I agree that the performance of the stock tires did suck, but they did last me about 35,000 miles before I replaced them because one of them went flat on me and I was also taking a roadtrip. If it weren't for them going out and the road trip, I probably could've done another 5,000 miles on them.

whats a tier?

Its a scion tc stock tire. It not even spelled right cause the suck so bad! LOL

I really cant seem to get around how the stock yokohama's are like over 200 bucks last time i checked and suck horribly. Much cheaper tires perform 20times better.

I currently have 31,000 on my stock tires and i still have thread for another 10k or so.

Theres a place near where i live whos selling 215/45zr/17 91w tires for 300. Mounted and balanced included in the price. Not sure what brand they are. Good deal?

31k miles on mine as well and they dont look too bad.

i've got about 16k on my stock tires right now, and they're getting pretty worn...its no fun trying to drive in the snow like that, so i guess within the next few weeks i'm going to be buying some new tires :(

I replaced mine at around 21K w/ Continental Extreme DWS 225/45/17's and they're GREAT in everything. It's an aggressive tire. Take a look at them.

replaced stock tires after like 11k miles i think.

I still had 2 stock ones on the car after about 25k

I hate to see how quick I'm going go through tires now being boosted.

Yeah I agree...

Stock tires are only good for burnouts :]

I have the ContiExtremeContacts DWS's also, at around over 30,000 miles, I swapped out the stocky Yoko's for the phenomanal DWS's which I absolutely love by the way! The tire is just flat out amazing, doesn't matter if drive in the rain, dry road or snow, the DWS is the tire to have and got it. (I have the 215/45 on my Classic Silver TC, Manual trnny):icon_smile::bow::):bow:

I was looking at getting those, glad to hear a good review...

^ I go through tires like crazy! 33,000 miles on my car and I'm on my 5th set lol.

heey me too!! 3 tires on stockies, 1 on kyowas, and 1 on gt-p's.. lol

damnnn.. but im at 37,000 miles.

I replace my Yoko's at around 29,000 miles, my tire of choice after scouring the net and back an fourth between numerous tires are the CONTINENTIAL CONTIEXTREMECONTACT DWS ALL-SEASON TIRES 215/45 17''! The best choice ever!

Alright thanks! :icon_smile: Now does anyone know a good place to get them for a good price???:pray: :biggrin:

I have a 2007 tc, with about 43xxx miles on them. Replacing them tomorrow. One tire already blew, and the other one is about too. yeah i need them bad.

Alright thanks! :icon_smile: Now does anyone know a good place to get them for a good price???:pray: :biggrin:


tirerack has them for 119 a piece which seems to be the cheapest that i see

Went 47k on the stocks and they were at the wear bars. Rotated every oil change. Even went to the drag strip every week for a few months. Any tire is better than the stocks...

Alright thanks! :icon_smile: Now does anyone know a good place to get them for a good price???:pray: :biggrin:

What size are they? i can see what i can get.
