I have many tar files like this: aa.tar, bb.tar, cc.tar, ....
I would like to untar them to their own directories such as aa/, bb/, cc/ ...
I tried this:
ls | xargs -n1 -I {} tar -xvf {} -C `basename {} .tar`
which does not work. It seems that the {} cannot be used as both whole tar file name and its file name without .tar.
How could I make it work?

Use a for loop, there's no need for xargs. e.g.
for t in *.tar ; do
bn="$(basename "$t" .tar)"
mkdir -p "$bn"
tar -xvf "$t" -C "$bn"
done
