I and my troubled 05 TL , and bridgestone
Story continues... I and my hated 05 TL w/bridgestone.
A lot ppl here knows I have rattles with my TL and dealer won't want to fix. After being educated here to be a non-sensitive person, at one point I had decided to ignore all the rattles, and pretend I don't hear anything while driving. Ooye, drive the hell out of it.
Now my company moved to PA business cmapus, where the road surface are like the surface of moon. Basically the pothole desity is like 2/foot. 2 days after starting driving on it, my back start to hurt, and the car feels like it is going to fall apart. I can't stand it anymore.
Just wanted to ask u guys, if I change to Yokohama H4S tires, how much improvement can I expect in terms of ride comfort?

1) You still have your TL?
2) Wrong forum...will be moved shortly.
3) www.1010tires.com ...lots of users reviews on tires.

Now I am not expecting to be 100% happy, I just want to reduce the discomfort to a "bearable" level.
Also, my car's VIN falls in the affected range for the "Bridgestone TSB" and my bridgestones are the old build model, but I don't have much rear tire wear as described in the TSB (No backseat passenger). Is there anything that I can ask the dealer to do for me? Like installing the Yokohamas for free?

OK guys, Gainful has a legitimate question. Please give more constructive replies.
I haven't tried the Yokos you reference. I am moving this to the tires/suspension forum for better answers.

I have Yokohama AVSdb2's(245-40-18)with A-spec suspension and my car rides like glass. Firm enough to know the A-spec is there,but much "cushier" than my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S I use for winter. I think you'll like the Yokohama's.
