Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could give me advice. I got my 04 tl in august and since then have got SEVEN, yes SEVEN flats. And, with 2 of those, i dented a rim each time. I have called bridgestone customer service twice, but end up leaving a message that doesn't seem to get a return call. I have asked the dealers and they say there is nothing they can do. Also, I am about to replace all the tires, so I was also wondering if I could get some suggestions.

Thanks

Slow down on rough roads and avoid potholes

The stock tires are not giving the TL the full potential it should be doing. Like I said in another post that is where Honda saved money on the car. Get a set of toyo proxes and you will be fine. avoid potholes and running over things too that helps a lot

I have had two flat tires on TL which is more than my other three cars total. Plus tire wear is down to 4/32 after 15000 miles. The OEM Bridgestones are the worst tires I have ever had on a car. The ZR tires on my vette lasted longer. I also have four scratched rims. Very poor engineering by Acura. I have nice rims on my other cars and no scratches on them. The dealer recommended I replace my Bridgestones with Yokohama. Any other recommendations?

I had 2 flats when I had the EL's. Its just a shitty tire dude. Pony up the money for the Pirelli's (600 to your door) or the Michelins(900 to your door ... but better than anything else). I opted for the Pirelli Pzero Nero. NO MORE FLATS and they are wearing alot slower/better!!!

BTW, I think it has been said on here that the EL42 is prone to getting flats (not just flat spotting)!
