Tire Description

The Turanza EL42 Plus is a Standard Touring All-Season tire developed for Original Equipment use on commercial cargo minivans used by tradesmen and taxi drivers. Compared to standard Turanza EL42 tires (developed for standard family minivans), Turanza EL42 Plus tires for commercial cargo minivans feature a heavier duty construction designed to emphasize extra durability over ride comfort while continuing to provide all-season traction in dry, wet and wintry conditions, even in light snow. The Turanza EL42 Plus molds an all-season tread compound into a symmetric tread design featuring siped, rectangular tread blocks that combine snow biting edges with dry road stability. Lateral and circumferential tread grooves evacuate water out from under the tire's footprint to reduce hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. The tire's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced by a full-width layer of spirally wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area and enhance handling and durability. The Turanza EL42 Plus features a two-ply polyester cord body to provide extra toughness while still providing appropriate ride qualities for commercial cargo minivans.

Customer Reviews

These are excellent tires so far (only 1100 miles on them, came with the van new). They are very quiet, very comfortable, and handle fine. The minivan isnt a sports car, and we dont drive it like one, and these tires are a great match to it. I dont know what the UTQG ratings are all about (320/B/B). Users on Chrysler minivan fan club report at least 50-70k miles out of these tires. We have found wet traction to be on par with other all season tires, at least as good as any other. No snow traction to report; living in North Carolina. It should be noted that this is NOT the same tire that comes on the Acura TL -- thats a totally different tire (size, speed rating, etc). Bad reviews on that one application do not accurately portray the entire line of Turanza EL42. The 215/65R16 size seems to be a wonderful performer, vary contrary to user reviews of these tires installed on other types of vehicles.
