You are in the Honda Pilot Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I just bought an 08 VP Pilot. I've always owned a 4x4, since I live in Buffalo, the snow can get pretty deep. I'm not sure how I feel about the Pilot being an automatic 4wd. I'm use to manually putting my vehical in 4hi. Should I feel just as confident as i did in my previouse vehicals, or is there something different that I should knbow about?

Replying to: 2cay (Jan 21, 2008 3:05 pm) I live in the Pacific NW and run the complete gammit of rain, to ice, to snow when I go up to the mountains to play on the slopes. I'm not too fond of the GoodYear Integras, and switched out to Michlins. I also carry 2 sets of chains (ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA!) if required at the mountain passes and press that 4WD button if I need to. I haven't had a problem yet... even in the unplowed overflow parking at the hill. That was about 2 feet of snow and not even one slip, slide or shimmy. All in all a pretty nimble little mountain goat! HTH Cheers, Tess

Replying to: upstatedoc (Jan 25, 2008 10:09 am)  How to Install Tire Chains I'm curious why the cables broke even after following directions. Too tight? Too loose? Too much driving over bare pavement? My set would be easy to install inside out if you didn't pay close attention (always fun trying to put chains on in a freezing snow storm!). On mine, if you put them on inside out, I could where the crimps on the crosschains (cables, that is) could open up as you run over gravel and rocks and then come lose. Then again, putting the crimp side out is probably easier on the tire. Have to go find my instructions....
