Consumer Description

EL42 BRIDGESTONES THAT CAME WITH MY NEW 2004 ACURA TL ARE UNSAFE. THEY FLAT SPOT AND HYDROPLANE IN THE RAIN. THE TIRES ARE VERY UNSAFE IN RAIN AND THEY ARE CONSIDERED "ALL SEASON" THEY ARE NOT ALL SEASON IN MY OPINION. I LOST CONTROL ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS WITH THE EL42 BRIDGESTONES BECAUSE OF HYDROPLANING. THE FALTSPOTTING CAUSES THE TIRES TO VIBRATE AND BOUNCE UNTIL THEY WARM UP. THE CAR CAME WITH THE ORIGINAL PVC TYPE (EARLY BUILD) AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO PUT THE NEW "TU@" ON MY CAR. RATINGS ON THIS TIRE ARE TERRIBLE AS SHOWN ON "TIRERACK.COM" ACURA DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE MY EL42 PVC ORIGINAL TIRES WITH ACCEPTABLE SAFE TIRES. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PUT MICHELIN PILOT SPORT ALL SEASONS ON MY CAR QUICKLY BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH THE EL42. PLEASE ADVISE- I KNOW MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2004 ACURA TL ARE UNHAPPY WITH THE EL42'S THAT CAME WITH THEM. THE EL42'S ARE UNSAFE IN THE RAIN AND SNOW THEY ARE NOT ALL SEASON AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AGRESSIVELY BEFORE PEOPLE LOSE CONTROL AND GET IN ACCIDENTS. *LA
