Crappy Tires, what should I do?
I usual do some research on this site or theg35spot.com or tirerack before I make a purchase. But I got a blown tire and I had to replace both rear tires. I went to a small local place and got Hercules WR-1 Raptis tires. The said they were better than the tires that I had(Nankings). Um I don't think so. These are the worst tires ever.
I took a small curve on dry pavement and the slip signal started coming on. In the rain they are even worse. The VDC goes crazy when I take any type of curve. I just got these tires. I can't replace them now. What should I do? Will they get better with time?

Thanks for the reply. When I got the car it had different tires all around already. The problem is that they needed to be changed at different times. I have Falkens that are pretty good on the front its these rear tires that are killing me now. I recently replaced the front ones and I just got the back ones so I can't spend any more $$$ on tires.
I got a suggestion to let some air out of the rear tires to see if they grip better. Does that work?
I need other options besides replaces the back tires.

Dropping the pressure won't really make it handle better but rather increase ride a little. Typically people will increase pressure to provide better steering response. I'm not sure where the pressures are now, but if you play with them, don't drop below the pressure recommended in the door/owners manual, don't exceed the tires max psi listed on the sidewall.
