TLX tires..which ones?
I took my first test drive in a TLX Advance with the Bridgestone. The car was quiet and had a smooth drive. I brought the wife back for the second test drive.
The second test drive was with the 19inch Michelins. Wow! What a difference. The Michelins tires are so much louder on the road and they felt so hard--I suspect the grip would be great. However, in the sub-zero cold, no tire would have good grip. We then test drove the 2.4L with the Goodyear, which has a lot more rubber, felt softer, and was quieter.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to retest the Bridgestone, as they couldn't find a TLX Adv with the Potenza on to be sure that my memory was correct.
Is the Bridgestone Potenza a good performing tire compared to the Goodyear Eagles?
Also, why would Acura use 2 different tires in the same model of car? Admittedly, the SH-AWD is slightly different from the 2.4L and the FWD V6, but why so different in tires?
Lastly, which tires are used on the Acura? I couldn't find the right Bridgeston Potenza tire....
