Michelin PAX replacement
Has anyone found a substitute for the POS (PAX) Michelin tire system on the Odyessy Touring models? Not happy with tread wear, traction design, and the monopoly on choice.

Re: Michelin PAX replacement
Don't know if you figures it out or not. Just got news I needed new tires on my 2005 Touring. Only 30K on this set. Pax replacments were priced for me @ $ 1200 for just 4 tires. Yeah right. So through some digging you can find ten spoke LX wheels and new tires (Goodyear Assurance triple tread) and you are out-the-door for just over $800 with entirely new wheels.
Even trying to get Michelin PAX from a tire store, you only save a few $. I am in the Chitown area and even her you have no choice because of the wheels and the run-flat feature. Good luck. |

Re: Michelin PAX replacement
redstinger333,
Thanks for the reply. I'm still using the PAX tires, and I've replaced 2 of them at my dealer for a total $445 including installation. Maybe I have a dealer with a better break on tires. But Tire Kingdom quoted $1300 for a set of 4, so your estimate beats that. A service rep at a dealer while on a trip told me that the pressure monitors would fit in any rim so any tire/rim combo could be monitored with no problems. Did you do this with the Goodyears? Rod |

Re: Michelin PAX replacement
I just bought a 2006 Odyssey Touring. At first, the salesman said that it didn't have PAX. He even said, you prolly dont want it anyway since it does have higher cost in maint/replacement. It was a certified pre-owned from honda, so in other words, I really couldn't be picky.
Anyway, I got home and took a closer look, and the turn out to be PAX! I was thinking I could just replace the tires with normal tires, but are you saying that I would also have to replace the rims too!? |
