Vibration Is Gone Now That My Turanza EL42s Are Gone.

Well, the verdict is in. By putting Michelin Pilot Sports on my TL we solved the vibration problem at 50-55 and 80+mph. It is too soon to tell how great these tires are, but I'm looking forward to doing some canyon driving on Saturday morning before the playoffs begin. I did take a couple of twisty onramps and offramps tonight at high speed and the tires seem to stick like glue even with just a few miles on them. It's gonna be fun!

I think I'll give my dealer a few weeks before I start on them again about the memory seats.

They are one of the three best at Tirerack and on the BMW forums. S03s a little stiffer but noisy and tramline and F1s, rated very high but new.

Acuraddict, what dealer are you dealing with? Are they any good at resolving rattle issues?

I sometimes deal with Acura 101 and sometimes Keyes Acura. They are both pretty good about these things.

The noise factor with the Pilots is not an issue for me. It might bother some I suppose, but I would think performance/summer tires are likely to have a different amount of road noise. BTW. this was something that I read a lot of comments about on tirerack and for the most part, others with the Pilots did not complain much.
