Need to replace my EL42s after 25K miles - 2004 TL Automatic.

Looking at the Pirelli PZero Nero M&S and the Kumho ECSTA ASX. TireRack also rated the Avon Tech M550 highly but I don't see much talk about them.

I need to get around in the NY area so the tires need to be decent in at least some snow.

Any strong recommendations?

I am sure this question has been asked before but can't find a thread on it.

Thanks.

Got my Falkens from Ganin Tire, www.ganintire.com, their Bronx location. Best prices I've found. They specialize in Falkens and Pirellis. My Falken Ziex 512's were $500.03 including mounting, spin balancing, installation, NY used tire disposal fee, and tax complete with a Road Hazard Warranty and free rotations for the life of the tires. The service I've received from this location has been outstanding.

Before you put any cash out for new rubber, check the recall bulletin on the EL42s. Acura will replace tires at no charge or Pro rate new ones depending on Mileage.

With the pro-rating you'd probably get at 25,000 miles, it might not pay to go that way. As a proud TL owner, one owes it to themselves to enjoy this car with a set of REAL tires.

I agree with you - even if Acura gave me a "deal" on new EL42s I wouldn't take them. Very dissappointing that I have to replace my tires after 25K miles on a $35K car. Acura should be embarrassed.

I called Ganin in the Bronx - guy wants $680 for 4 Pirelli P-Zero Neros - says he is willing to "make a deal" if I order them over the phone and then come to his place to talk.

Will probably just get them at Mavis Discount Tire near me - they have alwys been professional, prompt, and very competitive in pricing.

Thanks for the advice.
