Well I placed a deposit on it. If anyone wants to take my pre order in the chicagoland area, pm me. It's an asphalt 6mt, no options. Should be here in 6 weeks, I'm told.

All season tires were previously reported to be coming at http://www.cars.com/scion/fr-s/2013/...s/?revid=58456 but this is the first I've heard they're arriving. We get little snow, so personally summer tires are nothing I care to own. So far I haven't seen anyone list the type of factory all season tires these cars will get.

I just paid some attention to the bumper applique, and for whatever reason, I can only see and clearly read it when looking pretty much directly down at it. If I stand a few feet back from it, I can't read the text or even make it out.

It's not obvious enough to avoid the car over it, and should be relatively easy to remove if you choose to.

They are Bridgestone Turanzas

The "summer" tires aren't really that performance oriented anyway, consider the Turanzas your "winter" tires if your winters are mild enough, and get a proper set of summer tires like Hankook RS-3, Dunlop Z1 Star Spec, etc. At least that's what I'd do. I plan on burning the stock tires off drifting and buying a separate set of wheels and tires.

I keep meaning to post them, but every time I've looked at my order, it doesn't say. Just lists "All Season Tires" as my only option. If my car ever arrives, I'll be sure to get the brand off of them so people can know.
