Had 3 Acura's previously; 2 CL's, & an '05TL
Don't know if it's the Michelin tires;had Bridgestoe EL42's, prior, or what.
The traction, & handling/stability, in the new TL is amazing, in the rain.
Yesterday, during a downpour, it felt like dry pavement; no hydroplaning, or traction loss.'09 steering & suspension, is much improved; kudo's to Acura!

EL42's were scary in the rain. even w/ plenty of tread - took those off my 04 asap

now imagine the SH-AWD TL in the rain

AWD is awesome in the rain, its almost scary good, don't know where the limit is!

It's definitely the Michelins. I don't know how they manage to pack such handling, ride and tread wear into one package. Must be magic and a reason to love the French.

As for AWD, the Pilot Sport A/S+ on my TL have made sweet handling into a thrill ride. They even ride more quiet and smoother than the Michelins I took off.
