Bridgestone Turanza EL 42
Can anyone tell me about this tire please???!!!
I have been all over the internet and all I see are horrible reviews on Tirerack.
Well, I just bought 4 and had them mounted on my E430.
They come with a 30 day, no questions asked return policy. Please let me know - good or bad what your experience is with this tire. Thank you.

depends on the weather
the "EL" version of the Turanza is an original equipment tires that our customers are not thoroughly impressed with. I have driven them many times and believe them to be a sub standard touring tire when compared to the after market Turanza LS or the Turanza w/serenity

I love my new Bridgestones. I have about 3k miles on them and they're quieter and "better" than the Pirelli PZeroNero "road noise" rubber that they replaced.
They are great in the rain and we will see about the snow. Of course I have Blizzaks ready to go, but maybe I will give the EL42's a go in the snow . . .
Yes, they squeal around turns, but it makes me feel like I'm in Italy driving my uncle's Autobianchi 112 . . . . . . a pleasant memory flashback when it happens . . . . . . .
Feel free to report that this EL42 owner is satisfied. Note, they are Z rated.
