You are in the Honda Pilot Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I have a 2006 Pilot, AWD. I am just going past 31K miles and have noticed recently, under wet conditions, some tire spin when accelerating. These are the original tires that came with the vehicle, I think they are Goodyear Integrity? I am thinking that I am probably approaching the need for new rubber and am looking for some recommendations. I live in So. NH and we have a fair amount of snow in the winter. Most of my driving is around town other than an occasional weekend trip. So I am looking for recommendations for a good "mud & snow" tire. Thanks

I agree with the above posters that the Goodyear Integrity tires on the Pilot are junk.  Flexy sidewalls, poor traction. I'll be replacing mine with Yokos for the winter as just wet pavement results in spinouts.

I've been driving on the Yokohama Geolandar H/T-S tires for about a week. What a difference. A little more rolling resistance, a little less fuel economy, a LOT more stability. BTW: I have 4 Goodyear Intregrity 235/75-16 tires with 7K on them that I'll sell for $150 for all four, plus shipping.

I'm not an aggressive driver, but have driven the 03 Pilot through mud, snow, ice, and some serious rain storms. Never had a spin out in rain. More aggressive treads would have been helpful for the few mud, snow and ice episodes, but the 4WD has always gotten us thru. Everything considered, the Goodyear Integrity tires have been very acceptable for everyday use year round. Excellent fuel mileage and tread wear. Looks like we will get near 60K from them. Prefer Yokohama or Michelin, but not enough to change tires while these continue to perform as they do.  The Bridgestone Duelers on my wifes CR-V were noisy, rode rough and worn out at 35K.  Kip

The teen and I went to a large Honda Dealership in Ontario, California yesterday, looking for my future Pilot Touring AWD. The Dealership has tons of 2WD, tons of the other Pilots - only 1 Touring AWD (not my color choices). The dealer told me "You don't really want the Touring with those run-flats, because if you're 50 miles from Las Vegas and have a flat, what are you going to do? There's not a Michelin Dealer on that stretch." He also told me that given the relative small amount of snow in our local mountains an AWD is a waste of money (knowing I'm also going to be hauling horses).......is this guy just trying to move his other Pilots by pointing me away from the Touring; or, is there some truth to his statements? I know this sounds so naive; but, I know nothing about tires. AWD seemed to me to be the best for light snow and hauling........is it really the waste of money he was "warning" me about?
