#1350 of 1439 What wheels will fit by bukfan Jan 24, 2009 (9:13 am)
I called college hills honda this morning. They are great! A big hand to them for seeing a problem and working on a solution. Way better then my local dealers who deny that they have ever heard of a problem and refuse to give out any information. They have a new link that they just posted yesterday. When you go to the below link and see the dePAX kit click on new location this will take you to a list of honda wheels that will fit your odyssey. My husband is still pressing our dealer to do something. They will let us know Monday. I'm doubtful they will do much if anything.   http://www.collegehillshonda.com/honda_odyssey_accessories/05_07_odyssey_exterio- r.htm   Thanks to skap2 for this original link!!
#1351 of 1439 No more pax by Ed_paxhater Jan 25, 2009 (6:47 pm)
If you live in the Asheville,nc area Mike Smith at Smith Family Tire can depax your odyssey. Had my wifes 05 done yesterday. Mike Smith is a Pro when it comes to tires and wheels. Went to the shop a few days before and order the tires and wheel. Mike called me on the 3rd morning on a friday. Told me tires and wheels were there. I had to work friday so, i told mike i would come by saturday. Arrived at Smith family Tire at 8:30 was leaving at 10:00 smiling, with no more pax tires on the odyssey. The wheel my wife chose looks better than the originals but similar in style. There are several to choose from in wheel tire combinations. I chose the 17inch because this close to what she had. The cost to depax your odyssey should be around $1000.00 depending on what wheel and tire you choose. If you wish to keep the pax tires on the pax wheels please tell mike. If your keeping the tires you will have to buy new tire pressure sensors (tps). If you dont want the tires they will cut a hole in them to retrieve the existing sensors using them in the new wheel. At no cost, if there working why not use them. If you want to step up to an 18inch wheel it will cost you more and there is not as good as tire selection. If your driving in the asheville area stop by and see Mike at Smith Family Tire 5455 Old Haywood Rd. Its off of airport rd and near the end of brevard rd in mills river. Do a search for Smith Family Tire you should find his phone#. Glad i did!
#1352 of 1439 Depax in Chicago by cdavi Jan 26, 2009 (6:15 pm)
Has anyone found a dealer or tire shop in the Chicago area that has depax'ed an Odyssey? When I asked my dealer, they acted like they've never heard of anyone getting rid of the PAX tires.
#1353 of 1439 De-PAX Update by edwardtinsley Feb 17, 2009 (12:30 pm)
Just wanted to leave this update for anyone still on the fence about De-PAXing. We took our first long-distance (300 miles) this past weekend on the De-PAX setup. The ride was equal to or better than with the PAX, but the best part was the mileage. We averaged approximately 2 mpg better than previous trips. It may not sound like much, but that's over a gallon of "free" gas per fill up. Our previous best average on this trip had been 23 mpg. This time we averaged 25 mpg both going and coming!

Replying to: edwardtinsley (Feb 17, 2009 12:30 pm) Your De-PAX sounds like a success. I am considering De-PAXing my '05 Ody and wonder what wheels and tires you used? What sizes? What TPMS units? Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. bevzgeo Replies to this message: edwardtinsley (Feb 17, 2009 8:20 pm)

Replying to: nlkirchn (Dec 15, 2008 6:49 pm) Would you be able to post the name/location of the discount tire dealer in Atlanta that performed the conversion? I have a friend w/ the same issue, and was curious where you got this done.   Thanks - Replies to this message: edwardtinsley (Feb 23, 2009 5:12 am) bill517 (Apr 13, 2009 9:33 am) shipo (Apr 13, 2009 9:46 am) smlycat (Apr 13, 2009 11:22 am)

Replying to: cucrew (Feb 20, 2009 11:33 am) I bought the tires at Sears Town Center Mall location. They mounted and balanced the tires for me. I did everything else myself. I bought the wheels on ebay. I bought a set of TPMS sensors from Hennesy Honda and installed them on the ebay wheels. After Sears mounted and balanced the tires, I brought them home and mounted them on the van. It really is very simple.

#1358 of 1439 Settlement Terms by skap2 Mar 01, 2009 (10:36 am)
http://www.sfmslaw.com/user_documents/honda-settlement-agreement-090126.pdf   $3 million for the plaintiffs lawyers. Pro rata 3/36 warranty for Pax replacements and $110 rebate for a compact spare. $300 rebate for a new Honda or Acura. Nothing if you dePax.   Translation: For $3 million "our" lawyers obtained for the class trivial compensation in the form of a pro rata replacement warranty for tread wear, which is standard for most passenger tires anyway. However, this only applies to purchase of new Pax tires. And we get a whopping $300 off if we give Honda another $30-40,000 for a new car.   So even the trivial benefit is only available if we keep forking over money to Honda and Michelin.   If you dePax to be rid of this situation, you get nothing. Again, I urge everyone to opt out of the settlement, file a complaint w BBB and then file in your local small claims court. This is Honda/Michelin's worst nightmare since they don't want to have to defend hundreds of small claims on the same issue. May end up with nothing, but if you dePax that's what you're getting anyway.

Replying to: skap2 (Mar 01, 2009 10:36 am) These lawyers are disgusting. They got nothing more than a spare tire discount for the class. Shameful!
