For what it's worth, I'm on my second set of Turanza LS-Ts. Both sets have
worked great for me and my last set lasted about 65-70K mi. Moreover, many
other users of this tire that I know of have not had any problems. Though
that doesn't exclude the possibility of one bad apple in the bunch, it just
lowers the odds somewhat.
