Replying to: rv65 (Jun 27, 2008 5:32 pm) I also would like to get any information about being included in the law suit. And any information about the De-Pax Kit.   Thanks, Barry Replies to this message: rv65 (Aug 05, 2008 3:56 pm)

Replying to: dmayes (Jul 12, 2008 8:07 am) How has that worked out over the last month?   Keeping the TPMS system active seems tricky?

There are tons of wheel designs that you can choose from. The ugly imo 05-06 EX/EX-L, 08 non PAX touring, and finally the MDX wheels just to name a few. Hope this helps.

What type rims did you buy?   I am pleased with the softer ride and better feel of the road. Replies to this message: smlycat (Aug 11, 2008 3:03 pm)

Replying to: bill517 (Aug 11, 2008 2:10 pm) You can pull the PAX units off the PAX rims or you have to buy new units from Honda. Honda uses different units for the Touring and EX models. Mine cost about $37 each from Honda. I left my PAX tires intact hoping the class action will settle and Honda will want them back in one piece.   I swaped out my PAX wheels with a set of EX wheels. It drives just fine.

Can someone please send me the contact information to join this class action lawsuit?    I am also a Honda Odyssey 2005 owner and now needing to purchase a second set of PAX tires, with no options to purchase, I have put in only 35k miles with the original tires.   Thanks, Aru Replies to this message: gary_mag (Sep 02, 2008 8:47 am)
#1308 of 1440 Odyssey PAX tires by msmith5 Aug 31, 2008 (12:21 pm)
I also own a Honda Odyssey 2005 Touring and took the van yesterday to remove a nail in the right rear tire and get it fixed. I was shocked when a service technican said it could not be fixed and needed to be replaced with a new one at a cost of $400.00. We rarely go on a long trip so the tire thread depth was still good and I was expecting it was fixable because the puncture was not on the side of the tire. The service technician also said there are only 2 service centers in Vegas that have the capacity to replace the PAX tires. Now I'm worried driving through areas with construction sites and also knowing I will need to replace the other 3 tires in a couple of years. I'm also worried going on a long trip and getting a flat tire and not finding a shop that can replace a PAX tire within the 125 miles the maximum distance a PAX tire can run flat. Honda should pay to replace PAX the tires for Odyssey owners who want the tires converted.   Michelin has also discontinued making the PAX tires after just a few years so I'm sure pretty soon the few shops which have the special equipment to service PAX tires will find it costly to maintain it together with a trained service crew. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/automobiles/20TIRES.html Replies to this message: shipo (Aug 31, 2008 1:33 pm) vinnyny (Aug 31, 2008 2:52 pm)

Replying to: msmith5 (Aug 31, 2008 12:21 pm) While I agree with most of your post regarding the shortcomings of PAX tires, I think it's important to point out that Michelin is still making PAX tires (and will for some time), what they've done is to terminate all development of new PAX models.   Best regards, Shipo

Replying to: msmith5 (Aug 31, 2008 12:21 pm) Before you pay anyone to fix or replace your PAX tire, you must contact Michelin customer service first. Just google them for the number. You may be surprised when they agree to either replace the tire under warranty or cover a pro-rated share. Don't take "No" for an answer. If you push them, you will get something out of them.
