#66 of 105 Re: Tire Pressure [zarba] by kipk Jan 01, 2008 (4:11 am)
Replying to: zarba (Dec 31, 2007 2:06 pm) Me thinks you are taking corners a lot faster than I do!   I'm not a big fan of Goodyears either. When these go, they will be replaced with Michelin or Yokohama. Our 98 Ram had Goodyears. Always felt like there was one out of balance. Landmark Dodge replaced them with Michelin LT and made us happy campers.   Wife's CR-V has Bridgestone Duelers from the factory. I had a set on a Montero. Too noisy, for me, and her's are about worn out at 32K miles. The ones on the Montero didn't last that long. The Duelers do seem to grip the road well, wet or dry.   Kip

All tires at 32lbs and spare properly inflated also, the tire pressure monitor light wont go out. Any ideas? Thanks, Ken Replies to this message: parviz (Jan 20, 2008 7:06 pm) 77lakepine (Jan 22, 2008 2:07 pm)

Replying to: 77lakepine (Jan 19, 2008 10:34 am) I did not realize the 05 Pilot had the TPMS. First, I would make sure the reading is taken in the right temperature. I have a 2006 Pilot and the lights were on for awhile. What I tried was to over-inflated it just a a little bit, the light went off and then I took it back to 32. It may work for you too.

#70 of 105 Cheap OEM tire package for use as a spare??? by joeyjoejoe Feb 26, 2008 (9:25 am)
I've been looking for a complete tire/wheel package to use in place of the spare "doughnut" tire on my '08 Pilot VP. I would also plan to use the full size spare in the regular balance rotations. Hopefully by swapping in and out with a 5th tire, I could make my OEM Bridgestone's last a little longer.   The price, however, of purchasing a new tire, rim, TPMS sensor, and then getting it all balanced and mounted is a little daunting. I realize I wouldn't really need a new set of lug nuts or center cap, so that would save me like $50 or so. The best prices I'm seeing on a slightly used Bridgestone Dueler H/T on ebay is right around $68 shipped and more like $100 something new. The rim would then be another $130 or more and a TPMS sensor is roughly $40. Then there is the cost to have a Honda mechanic mount and balance them to specific instructions.   Does anyone know of a cheaper way to get a spare OEM tire? The dealer will probably try to work me on prices as well. Just wondering if anyone has experience. Thanks.
#71 of 105 Spare by kipk Feb 26, 2008 (10:25 pm)
Here are a couple of Internet wholesale Honda dealers that may be able to help.   http://www.handa-accessories.com/   http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/home.htm   You may also want to check with auto salvage yards. The problem will be "matching" your existing wheels for adding to the rotation.   NOTE: To the best of my knowledge wheels/tires are no longer "Xed" as they were in the past. They are simply swapped front to rear each time and remain on the same side of the car. Something to do with the construction of the radial tires, can result in problems when they are "Xed" and forced to change direction of rolling. If that is correct, you wouldn't benefit trying to add the spare to the rotation as it would only be used on one side of the car.   So replacing the donut "Spare" with a full size "Spare" will be a lot less expensive if you aren't trying to match things. Any wheel and lug pattern for a Pilot should work.   FWIW our '03 CR-V has/came with Bridgestone Duelers, and we are as disappointed with them as the other two sets. On 2 other cars. They have been rough riding, and noisy, and at 30K miles, are about worn out. Our '03 Pilot has the Goodyear Integra tires, and with about the same mileage, they appear to have about 1/2 +/- the tread left. I'm not a Goodyear fan, but am impressed with how they have done. Except they seem to have poor stopping ability in wet weather.   Kip Replies to this message: joeyjoejoe (Feb 27, 2008 1:38 pm)

Replying to: kipk (Feb 26, 2008 10:25 pm) Thanks for the advice kipk. In reading through the Pilot owner's manual (I surprised myself by actually sitting down and reading a manual!) they actually recommend you 'x' them, although I do think there was a specific pattern for the AWD models. I'll have to check later.   I've had a few Goodyear's blow out on me on the interstate and then the ensuing nightmare of dealing with the warranty, so I'll never buy them again. The thing that really annoyed me is I actually purchased the expensive ones compared to the cheap ones I usually get. I never had problems with the cheapo's, but about a year after having the expensive models, two blow on me within a few months. Ridiculous! Anyway, thanks again.
#73 of 105 Only the VP gets Bridgestone and others get Goodyear? by joeyjoejoe Mar 24, 2008 (6:59 am)
I was just wondering if anyone knew the rhyme or reason behind some Pilots getting Bridgestone Dueler in comparison to the Goodyear Integrity? I asked a fellow owner and he said only the VP gets the Bridgestone's? Is there any truth to that? Just curious if anyone knows. Thanks.

Replying to: joeyjoejoe (Mar 24, 2008 6:59 am) My VP has Goodyear Integrity. I wish Honda will use better tires for their future models. My former Sienna lease had Michelins on them. I think good tires are good selling points in competitive SUV segments especially if you are also banking on great safety records. Why not give the truck its all and point it out to consumers.

Replying to: carabel (Mar 24, 2008 8:56 am) I like the Bridgestone's but they don't offer the same "roadside hazard" insurance as Goodyear. For like $11 a tire you can cover it from all sorts of dangers the regular warranty doesn't cover. They also give you free tire rotations whenever you want. I enjoy doing my own work, but getting this big beefy boy up on a jack to rotate the tires myself seems a little daunting.   I might ask the dealer why the difference on my tires. They are both not ranked very highly on tirerack.com or consumerreports.org. As long as they last a few years before I can get some Yoko's or Michelin's on them, they've served their purpose. Thanks for the response. Cheers!
