From what I have read the stock tC will come with Pirelli's. Don't know the specific model #. For those of you that do have this info, is this a poor, good, or very good tire? On the Mazda 3, many posters are complaining about the stock and 17" tire.

Thanks.

pirelli's can be VERY good, or just ok- depends on the model

Pirelli's are good tires, known to be good and sicky. But if you drive hard, they do wear out some what fast.

Can you say Ferrari?

good and sticky not good and sicky. my bad.

but ferrari tires are much better models like the ultra high performance pirelli's

At least they're not firestones or bridgestones. :wink:

i tried looking to see what it will come with, but i can't find anything.

^^^ same here. all i see is potenza but i cant see the model number.

The stock tires should only last a while for most people, but I rarely drive distance and a good set of tires will last me a long time...

I'm pretty confident with 17" 45 profile tires, you'll be running sticky, but how fast would this sticky be is the main issue :D

they are gonna all season tires, and not summer performance tires, so they should last a while. This will make a little less grippy, but it will be ebough for most, and most ppl would oreffer the coninience of all season to performance, espacially out of Cali.

At least they're not firestones or bridgestones. :wink:

negative, they are Potenza which are bridgestones...lol

I'm not positive, but i think the Tc comes with hi-performance z-rated tires, the same as off of the Lexus IS200 and IS300

Lets just say I'm glad they aren't the RE-92 everyone "raves" about for the WRX :D

Hadn't looked, was just go'n on the info provided in this post, which was Pirelli's.
Egads! they're Bridgestones! :D

According to e-mail from SCION:
Thank you for contacting Scion.
The 2005 Scion tC will have Pirelli P0 tires stock. :P

Some one dig up specs / price for I am dah lazy one!!

Ok, sorry for the double post, but I de-lazy'ed myself and tried to dig up what we'll expect to get...

Just saying they're P Zero isn't helping much since there are millions of models under that name :D

Well, for starters I think we're gonna end up with all season... The only one that matches P Zero under all season is listed as an Ultra High Performance All Season tyre... (btw, I used to spell it tire... Guess I'm gonna change it to the cool way)

I dunno if this is it, but incase anyone else is wondering...

bridgestone potenza... :lol:

I know this is an old topic, but I got bored when I should have been writting a paper...

The tires on the tC are the bridgestone potenza P215/45 R17's which is the same tire the S2000 has. So they shouldn't been too bad. Just a little info.

bridgestone tires are great tires, :D you just have to get the potenza 750's or the S-O3's to see what good they are...i had an rsx type s with S-O3's and they were bomb...i could turn freeway to freeway connecting ramps at 100, and clovers at like 60...

those weren't the stock tires on the RSX were they? I heard the stock tires on the RSX sucked.

The RE92's suck bad (low tread wear rating).

I have the RE950's on my BBS RX rims for my old Camry, and it NICE! It even has wheel guard protection.

All potenza's drain air fast than the competition though. So check the tire pressure once a month.
