Tires/Wax
My stock Turanza EL42's seem to vibrate and make a lot of road noise at 40/50 M.P.H.Also the car doesn't seem to handle as well as the "demo" I drove.The dealer wouldn't have put "special" rubber on the demo would they? The salesman said if I had any problems to call him.Does anyone think they will replace the tires,or is it worth it to do it at my on expense??

I don't wax my tires.
If the dealer won't replace the tires, see Bridgestone. Go to the Tire & Wheels forum and check the threads there. If they bother you, I would definitely replace them, as I said in one of those threads.

Thanks Ron. I don't wax my tires either,guess I forgot to mention the wax.Have you ever used Griot's products? Some people with classic cars swear by them. I will call the Acura dealer first about the tires,and if necesary Bridgestone.

sarge we live in the same town. where did you buy? pm me with the info. I suggest strongly 'more shine less time' from stoner products. goes on easy and looks great. lasts a long time too. two coats gives a really good gloss. I told my dealer about what I heard here and got him to trade out for michelin pilot sports for 100 dollars a tire trade value.
