05 Navi w/Bridgestones?

I just picked up my '05 6MT Navi and love it to death over my 03 TL-S Navi :-) The only issue I have is the annoying vibration immediately driving from sitting all night as well as at highway speeds. From reading around here, I've noticed that the 05 Navi's are supposed to have Michelin's but I def have a set of Bridgestones (even got the stupid Bridgestone pamphlet with my Owner's Manual). Anybody else have Bridgestones on theirs? I have to run by the dealship today and was wondering if I should go complain.

Thanks

Yes, you should go and talk to your dealer as you SHOULD have the Michelins! Makes me wonder if a previous customer at your dealerships was able to have his EL42 Turanzas switched out with your car before you bought yours.

That's what I'm thinking too. Fortunately, they didn't give me any grief and will be switching them tomorrow

Is there a TSB or something that I can reference just in case the dealer gives me a hard time? I picked up the car yesterday and noticed the vibrations. Thanks for the information.

Yep, Phoanka replaced them. At first when I got there....they were hesitant....i think i got a "well, we have to figure out who's gonna pay for this". And of course my reply was..."i don't care who pays for it, just fix it". They called me later that day and said they swapped them (probably off another TL).

Not sure, I used the line "I called Acura Customer Service and they said I should have the Michelins". That was enough apparently.
