Replying to: homersodyssey2 (May 16, 2009 7:21 am) I live in Houston and when I depaxed my tires last July at a Goodyear dealer in Pearland the Honda dealer said the sensors wouldn't work on the Honda rims we bought. After reading so many of the comments from people saying they would work, I cut open the old Pax tires and removed the sensors. The Goodyear dealer put the sensors in with no washers and so far they have worked fine. I am really unhappy with the way Honda has treated me on this. Worse than not helping they kept giving me false information. Replies to this message: smlycat (Jun 03, 2009 3:11 pm) bill517 (Jun 08, 2009 6:11 am) vinnyny (Jun 08, 2009 5:57 pm) and 2 more...

Replying to: bill517 (Jun 03, 2009 1:47 pm) Congrats!   I guess you're going to trash your PAX tires, so reusing the sensors was okay. Most folks, myself included, opted for new touring sensors and sold their PAX tires on ebay.   Did you get a spare? I bought one in a junk yard for $20 and bought the mounting kit (washer/bolt) from Honda for $12.   W.

Replying to: smlycat (Jun 03, 2009 3:11 pm) I bought a new spare from the Goodyear dealer not realizing how expensive they are. I advise all to go to the junk yard. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Jun 08, 2009 5:57 pm) bill517 (Jun 09, 2009 6:41 am) vinnyny (Jun 12, 2009 3:56 pm)

Replying to: bill517 (Jun 08, 2009 6:11 am) The settlement allows a reimbursement of $110 for the spare tire. Was it much more than that? Replies to this message: bill517 (Jun 09, 2009 6:41 am) vinnyny (Jun 12, 2009 3:56 pm)

Replying to: vinnyny (Jun 08, 2009 5:57 pm) The wheel was $60 and the tire was $175. I haven't received anything on the settlement, is the settlement a state or US suit? Replies to this message: vinnyny (Jun 12, 2009 3:56 pm)

#1392 of 1439 How to remove the TMPS from the old PAX tires by dandsstanley Jun 13, 2009 (11:45 am)
I read through a lot of the posts on this forum, and purchased new tires and wheels from Tire Rack. Our local mechanic said he could re-install the sensors on the new wheels, but he tried for a couple hours yesterday and could not get the PAX tires off the wheels. I called another company that specializes in after-market wheels, and they said they worked on run-flat tires and could handle it, and after only 30 minutes today they gave up! It looks like my choices are to (1) buy new sensors (the folks this morning quoted us $200 for the set); (2) convince our Honda dealer (O'Neil in Overland Park, KS. if anyone is from Kansas City area-they have been absolutely no help at all so far) to use their machine to remove the tires and sensors so we can take them elsewhere to have them installed on the new wheels); or (3) find someone to cut a hole in the tires and remove the sensors. Any ideas? Anyone know of someone locally that can help? Thanks. Replies to this message: rtruns_honda (Jun 14, 2009 2:35 am) dandsstanley (Jun 15, 2009 12:19 pm) bill517 (Jun 17, 2009 1:01 pm)

Replying to: dandsstanley (Jun 13, 2009 11:45 am) Just how did your local mechanic try to get the sensors out of the old wheels? The only way it can be done without the PAX Wheel machine is to cut open the sidewall, your option (3). If you read back a few years you will find posts from others that cut open their PAX tires and remove the sensors. The local Tire Fair shop priced me out at about $900. 00 for new aftermarket wheels and generic tires and they would cut out the old sensors. From the pictures I have seen posted on the web it is a good size opening (6x5) and you will need a good cutting tool for the job but it works!

Replying to: rtruns_honda (Jun 14, 2009 2:35 am) Thanks. I will try to talk one of the places into doing that.
