Ok to all who have not bought there car yet, check with the dealer and see if they will exchange the stock tires. From what I hear, the stock tires, the yokohamas and the bridgestone potenza's (re92) both suck. (they are ranked as two of the worst tires on tire rack) before you buy check with the dealer and see if they will exchange them. my dealer had a set of pirelli pzero nero [email protected] tires just laying about and agreed to replace them. He was great about it, i had bought the car and he still agreed to replace them. (some won't do it unless they want to make a sale.) also if you are at this site, many times you will know more then the dealer. my dealer didnt know the potenzas came stock on some tc's and was actually going to replace the yokohama's with potenzas! if you need to buy your own (after getting money back for the stock tires) check on tirerack.com (or i suppose 1010tires.com) i would reccomend the avon techs (on tire rack) or the pirellis that the dealer might have around. this is generally a simple replacement and most dealers are willing to do it. every review i read said that the standard tires are bad, and that they detract from the car. also heads up about all the tires avon tech through yoko. they dont last a long time. tread life is bad on all of them. anyways have fun with your new car once it comes, and remember, new tires (over stock) are the single best thing you can do for performance on this car.
By the way, we need an undo button, i accidently moved some of the sentances around by mistake, and i spent a good 10 minutes fixing everything, if we had an undo button, that would have taken 2 seconds (i suppose i could do this in word and copy/paste it over here, but who does that)
oh yeah just so you know, yokos come stock on some tc's and potenzas on some tc's. i bet that the companies wanted to dump them some place because they werent selling so they sold them to scion on the cheap.
