How long did the Stock Turanza EL42's last?
#4
I have 35K on my EL42s and I think I could squeeze another 8-10K out of them. They are getting pretty loud and I plan on replacing them within a month or so, simply because they really suck. BTW, my father's 03 Sienna minivan has the same exact tires except the EL42s are H-rated, not V-rated.

Those tires will last long enough to take you to the garage to replace them! Those stock EL42 tires will get you killed, no doubt. Your safety is worth more than the replacement tires cost. Go with a 235/50/17. I went with the Toyos on my old 03.5 G35 sport sedan and liked them, but the Michelin Pilot A/S is also a great replacement for all season driving. (If you only want one set of wheels and tires rather than (2) sets for the seasons.) I just put Toyo T1-R's on my newer 05 G35 Sedan 245/45/18.
If you like to see the slip light come on then I'd leave the stock ones on, NOT!

I have another vehicle with 40k on it with the same exact tires, EL42 V rated that came stock from the factory. They look like I can get another 10-15k out of them. The G is a totally different vehicle and was wondering if they may perhaps wear out faster due to the different suspension geometry.
The 235/50/17 tire won't feel to heavy on the vehicle and reduce acceleration and fuel economy?

I think if this car does .9 on the skidpad with 215/55/17's as the mag's did back in 03, the you should not screw up a good thing. There'sa great balance of handling and rolling resistance IMO.
DaveB, why the Avons? Also why did the replacement tires grow as you specify? You are saying the same sidewall tire size then and now have different actual size measurements? That's awesome! I was looking at 225/50's but don't want the gap to grow. I believe the size that come from the factory are the best tires to have on the car.
My Turanza's have 32k and I'm going on a road trip. There are tiny spider cracks in the deep part of the tread. Should I be worried?
