Replying to: deerface26 (Aug 20, 2009 6:57 am) 2. Should I over inflate the tires to 39 PSI as has been suggested by other PAX users? I keep it 35 cold because it'll increase to 39-40 when hot 3. Should I always keep the tires around 39 PSI? 4. Does anyone think since Michelin/Honda have stopped RTF contract, that it will now cost MORE to dePax? I have noticed though that since more dealers and auto repair shops are DePAXING, the cost has come down a bit since the earlier blogs. 5. In someone's opinion, what be the best and most cost-effective tire replacement for me to consider when I De Pax? Tires size and rims, etc. Size? Brand? Do I still need the TMPS equipment? if your wife is primary driver and most of the trips will be less than 125 miles I still think it's better to keep the PAX. you may want to ask the dealer to change the other 2 pax for a big discount and install you a spare tire just incase you're traveling far and to more remote area I still keep my pax and cost 250 to change including gel and labor and have installed spare tire just in case

I am getting ready to de-pax my '06 touring. I have decided on Kumho Solus KR21 235/60/17 tires but I can't decide on wheels. Tirerack sells a Elbrus wheel, Wheelrack sells a Sport wheel, Discount Tire Direct sells a Drag wheel. These are all very good looking wheels and a really good price. They are all built in China. Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with any of these wheels. Thanks Don |

Replying to: deerface26 (Aug 20, 2009 10:57 am) When I bought my 2006, I didn't know about the issues with PAX. When I bought my second Touring model, I was fully informed and made a conscious decision to trade the convenience, lower cost, and better ride quality of standard tires for the safety of PAX. I have driven my Ody fully loaded through the Arizona/California desert dozens of times without issue. I drove the van from Arizona to Virginia loaded to the roof (and luggage on top) without a problem. I drove the van from Southern VA to New England a dozen times worry-free. Finally, I drove it to Florida where it now lives. From a utility and safety perspective, the Odyssey is without peer. That said, I'd make the dealer replace all four PAX tires in order to do the deal. good luck!

Replying to: vinnyny (Aug 22, 2009 5:16 am) Well we bought the 2007 with PAX tire set (2 out of 4 brand new), dealer would not go for the other 2 but picked up my last payments on my current lease so that what the price of the other 2 tires. Ride is great I must admit and the Touring is amazing. 2007 or not ! There are nearby run-flat service places not far away and we were loaded up with kids, luggage, etc. So far, we love it, and let's see what happens from here on out...

Replying to: deerface26 (Aug 24, 2009 6:54 pm) Congrats on your Ody. We had the same 2007 touring and really enjoy it. I am keeping the PAX tires. While it may not be around in 5 years, I really give me a peace of mind knowing that the car can be driven for 125 miles when the tire is flat. Did you manage to get the dealer install you a spare tire? |
