Acura just called, new tires are in!
This Thursday my car gets new tires, hopefully this will solve the problem and not perpetuate it.
I'm crossing my fingers!

Has anyone had the new el42s put on their TL? If so, any noticeable difference? I am scheduled to get them Thurs but I'm considering trying to swap out and pay the difference. I'd have to take the tires somewhere else and do this on my own. . . . . Help!

I would never dare put EL42 or any bridgestone/firestone on my car again even if they paid me. I am going to take the hit and buy Michelin Piolets and then when the lease is over I will wave the invoice in the sales managers face when its time to re-negotiate on the next lease in 3 years. So I may lose money now but in the long run- Acura will have to lower their price on the next lease for making me suffer with crap EL42's if they expect me to consider leasing an Acura again. I always win in the end.

Save your money and put on the Falken ZIEX 512's. That's what I'm doing when the time comes. They're about ½ the price of the Michelins and rated better and quietier by Consumer Reports. $115 each (+ Tax of course) mounted, balanced, & installed at Cosmos Tire in Long Island City. 718-545-7484 .

Nicki,
I agree, however at the price these things (TL's) go for, I want them to try and fix it before I shell out my hard earned money.
I refuse to make it easy for them.
