Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2004tl came with bridgestone turanza el-42 tires. the dealer stated tires would be acceptable when i stated concerns with what i had read about flat spotting. on my first long distance trip (500+ miles) my front passenger tire blew off the rim. i had to have it replaced at procter acura in tallahassee which in formed me to take tire to a tire manufacturer since it is warrantied thru its manufactururer. as of this date nothing has been done. i bought a new tire ($225) and am waiting to hear what else bridgestone will do to compensate me. *ak
