Bridgestone Turanza EL42 All Season P245/45R19 98V Passenger Tire

I really cant understand why others dont get the wear out of their tires that we have. I am just now replacing our tires and we are at 61,000 miles on theTuranza. I have never had these tires before, they are the ones that came with our Grand Caravan. The only complaint I have is they do not have good traction either on dry or wet pavement, but that only seems to be when at coming from a standing still start. I have never hydroplaned, nor have I slid at any time when stopping. But, I have unintentionally burned rubber many times when taking off attraffic light or pulling out from my subdivision, so that is a downside to these tires. Otherwise, how can you complain with 61,000 miles? Excellent ride too. Quiet, good handling on turns, good feel on steering. I am looking to buy the same tires now that it is time to replace them, provided they arent out of my price range. That might be a downside too once I start looking around, though since they were the factory installed tires, I doubt they were TOO expensive! I say - Way to go, Bridgestone!

After reading all the negative reviews, Im very surprised. While the tireson my 05 TL are young, Ive experienced NONE of the many flaws that many have stated. Dont be swayed into believing these tires are bad. Maybe a large defectivemanufacturing lot can cause some of the above but I personally know 5 new TL owners and none have any of the complaints listed in many reviews.< br>< br>Bottom line, dont believe everything you read!
