Anyone tried them yet? Have an '06 Auto that came with Michelin HX MXM4's and got almost 36K out of them, may be able to go another 2-3K, but not worth it. Have heard seem great things about the Yokohama S.drive tires, and they are considerably less expensive. Thanks in advance!

After 33,000 miles, I just put 4 new Versados on my '05 TL. They were about $300 less than the MXM4. After 750 miles, I have been pleased with them. Unfortunately, they found that one of my rims was bent....$322. Overall, I love my car. The most disappointing thing to me has been the tires/wheels. I did a lot of research when I bought this car in 2005, but I don't remember anything about the low profile tire (susceptible to bent rims), more expensive tires, and shorter mileage expectations for the tires.

Replying to: jjg4519 (Mar 28, 2008 11:37 am) I also put Versados on my '05 last summer. Don't know if you're anywhere with snow, but beware! I swapped the Toyos for Dunlop Wintersports in December as the early/plentiful New England snow was rather challenging driving w/the Versados!!! Worse for me than the OEM Turanzas which just depressed the heck out of me... The Toyos will go back on my TL in 3 or 4 weeks. Look forward to the quieter ride, although the Dunlops aren't too bad.

Replying to: laurasdada (Mar 28, 2008 12:40 pm) How many miles on those Toyos? Are they as quiet as OEM Turanza EL42? How about handling, turn-in, responsiveness, comfort compared to EL42? Lauras, Thank you in advance for any info. Have an 04 TL with winter Dunlops mounted now. Have to take off soon. Am way, way overdue to get summer replacements for the EL42's. Close to wear bars. Of course don't know how good or bad these EL42's are with respect to handling, never had anything other than Dunlop snows on the car. Of course, the EL42's are terrible with flat spotting, but after a couple of miles they smooth out. Do like that EL42's are quiet and I guess comfortable. Checked Tirerack website yesterday and read many reviews for Michelin Pilot PS2, A/S, and other models as well as Turanza Serenity (these superceded LS-H, V). Also, talked to one of their reps. My take is that perf Michelins will be noisier than OEM EL42's. Serenity does not have crisp handling according to reviews and Tirerack rep. Read one review of a person saying they are getting 1 MPG less when he put on Michelin A/S. Anybody out there with experiences willing to share, such as have been posted already, who pulled off EL42's and is happy with replacements? Has anybody replaced worn-out EL42's with "New" EL42's rather than venture to another brand/model? Thank you.

I just bought a 2002 Acura TL Type S and it needs tires. I keep hearing horror stories about the OEM Michelin Pilot tires. Can anyone recommend really good all season high performance tires for this car. Yokohama, Bridgestone, Goodyear, BFGoodrich......? Thank you.
