I am afraid to drive my tC in wet weather. My car hydroplanes all the time in the wet weather. I was wondering if others are haveing this problem, or is it just my car? Do we need another set of tires besides the factory ones? Or should Scion give us different tires?

Is it the tires? Is it the light weigh of the car? Is it the suspension? Is it the lowering springs?

 

Our tires suck in the wet. I lose traction often in the wet. So i have to drive slowly or else ...

 

potenza RE092 that i got w/ my car suck here in washington.. when i get my rims i plan on getting some different tires though. bridgestone RE950's!!!

 

It rained here today and my car felt like I was driving on ice. Reeeeeeally creepy.

It's the tires. Get some summer performance tires.

 

Hmm, I never have any traction problems.

 

I drove in the rain yesterday going 65-80mph on the freeway. Didn't feel any loss of traction.

 

i havent had any problem in the rain and very little in the snow but i got the yoko's with my tc

 

at 10mph, my tires caused me to slide into a curb causing over two-grand of damage..... tires f'ing suck!!!!!!!!

 

The tC i test drove had Goodyears on it... twas pouring down rain too, punched it pretty damn hard getting onto 167.. had no problem with traction.. *shrugs* I personally didn't know the tC had an option or came with goodyears?

 

Weird cause I still have the stock re92's and i've driven them in Really wet weather at 70+mph with no probs at all.

 

How did that happen?

 

Me too.

 

I have the stock tires still and i havent seen any problem in rain so far. It rained a lot here too! But i have noticed sometimes they do lose grip in normal driving conditions. I was trying to pass another person i punched it...and i felt like i wasnt going anywhere! the tires lost their grip! that ____ed me off because i could have wrecked into the wall that was oncoming..i was like AHHH!! but i made it.

 

I havent had any bad experiences in the rain (yet), but Ive had quite a few near death experiences in the snow. Im just too cheap to change the tires out yet because I am still recovering from the down payment.

 

The stock tC tires suck A@#. I have nothing positve to say about them except that they are tires. This morning it rained in Nor Cal and the ground was wet, I took a turn at about 35mph and I could feel the rear of the car slipping a little. When I can afford new tires/rims, I'm gettin some!

 

I had the same problem too so I got my self new Fuzion ZRi Tires. There Cheap and Grip the road way better than the RE92's and better in the rain.

 

I think he was joking

 

My tires sucked in the rain. Then I learned how to properly drive in the rain. Now they are fine.

 

no, I wasn't joking..... believe me I wishI was

20mph freeway onramp with a hard right turn.... very little rain on the ground.... took the turn at 10mph (trying to be safe)... all four tires lost all traction and BOOM
