Bridgestone Turanza replacement tires?

What do you think about them?
I think Acura puts them on stock 05 TL.
They have them at tirerack.com for $136 each + $100 mail in rebate, so it will be like $111 per tire after rebate.
Any comments?

I remember everyone complaining about the Bridgetone OEM's on the 2004 TL and some even getting free replacements. Something about shuddering at speed?

Those guys have problems with Turanza EL42, and I am talking about Turanza LS-V.
If you do a search in second generation TL, people are pretty happy with LS-V.
Overall I am finding happy people with LS-V...

Turanza LS-V is probably the best tire I've ever put on a car. They ride quiet, grip like mad and are great in the wet. Never driven in snow so no comment there. I have close to 10K miles on mine and they look good for another 10-15K easily. They may not compare to the really aggresive tires in terms of grip but they are about 9/10 of that and most people would never be able to tell the difference.

I agree, considering the price, they are great. After I get $100 rebate from Bridgestone, it will cost me $111 per tire, much better deal than $180 for OEM tires (which are crap!)

update

Just had a ride on a highway, Turanza are fuking awsome. The road feel is awsome, it feels like they glue to the road, creating amazing stability on a highway. tirerack.com was right with the highly rated recommendation.
these are definatly top of the line tires for all-season driving considering they only cost $111.
