does anybody else have a problem with the stock tires? i have at least 50% tread on my fronts and they spin like a mother-trucker.....even in second gear...i have problems pulling out onto the highway because of it....my friend has an 08 and has the same problem....we only had our cars for about 4 months....what are some good replacement tires?

 

It's called stop driving so aggressively. Yes the tires do suck, but if you don't put down so much torque then they will be fine. I assume you are talking about dry weather? It takes a bit of effort to spin the tires in dry conditions, so you will be fine if you start driving like a normal person.

 

i do but even under normal conditions the tires spin

 

actually... i think the tires grip better after some use. i remember when i got my tires id chirp em in third... now it just grabs.

also, a pop clutch in first results in less spin and more go than before. same in second.

 

Welcome to the club. Screw that, drive however you want. Toyota put those Bridgestone's on everything from the older IS300's to the tC's and they've sucked no matter what.

If you think they're bad on the tC, imagine them on a RWD car in the rain. pfffft good luck

 

I dunno, my stock tires are fine under normal conditions. The only time it breaks loose is when I floor it or if I am starting on a hill and I give it a bit too much gas. You have to use some finesse. But anyway, new tires will probably fix your problem too. The stockers are not very grippy.

 

unless the road is uneven, I dont really have problems in 1st gear. At 1st, I would spin them easily, but I learned to drive with them......

 

Which tires do you have Scions came out with two different tires Yokahamas and Brisgestones

 

your tires do break in after a little use, but there are loads of other factors, like ambiant and surface temperatures.

also, your clutch, if you keep abusing it, it loses clamping force, so you might just be abusing the heck outta your clutch, and now it is weaking so less power is getting to the tires.

just some food for thought.
