I Purchased Cooper Evolution M+S 235/65 R16 tires that I purchased from Tire kingdom at 220 Linto BLVD Delray Beach FL. 33444. The set of tires have low miles on them and tread wear is great. When I got the tires I felt a vibration in the tires from the front pretty quickly. I had my whole front end of my car replaced including beairings, no help. So I spent money and replaced the 2 front tires with the same tires and they were very young tires and a wheel alignment and the shaking was mitigated in the front but the car still vibrated slightly. …
The steel wheel on driver side front was found to have a major crack in it. Upon examination by Honda of westport, fetzer tire and hank May it is their conclusion that the wheel has structural issues that could lead to a catastrophic accident. The wheel was purchased at hank May in stamford ct., who got the wheels from wheel fix it in freeport long island (www.wheelfixit.com/). They refused to acknowledge any issue or responsibility re: the wheel. In addition, these wheels I have learned....never did 'fit' the Odyssey. They were machine lathed poorly and bounced on the hub spokes, causing vibration. Again, wheel fix it denies any issue with the quality of the product. I have photo's of the cracked wheel which I have taken off the car, of course.
Pax tires fall apart and the dealer did not service them well. Tread failure 1 to 2 inches of rubber fell off, down to threads. Dealer claimed that running into a curb could cause this to happen. Tires failed before 30 thousand miles. Cost approximately $100 more than normal tires. Honda provided no other options to tire problem, monopoly on the manufacturer of tire, Michelin. Monopoly on service to vehicle where little other dependents are available to replace tire. Discount tire is the only other provider. Honda does not recognize any other optional tires for use on their Odyssey. Discount tire proposes a replacement with a 18 inch z rated tire that might leave vehicle with a dash warning that cant be turned off or disarmed. Tire pressure system also is not accurate or reliable. No restfully options by owner. …
Tl contact owns a 2005 Honda Odyssey. He observed that the tread on all four tires was worn. The contact owns run flat Michelin energy lx pax tires. The tire size is 235-710r-460a. The tire pressure is 33 on the front and 35 on the rear. The tread on the front, rear passenger and driver side tires tread are worn. The treads are wearing on the tires faster than normal. A local tire dealer stated that only Honda can diagnose the tire failure due to the special metric rims. The dealer and tire manufacturer have advised him to bring the vehicle to the dealer to purchase tires. The tires on the vehicle are required to be replaced two to three times a year compared to conventional tires. Honda gave a quote of $2,000 to replace all four tires. He was not advised at the time the vehicle was purchased of the additional cost to change the tires or that the tires last half as long as normal tires. …
Michelin tires energy lx4 235/65/r16-103t-went in to dealer today for alignment. Said they could not do it as all 4 tires are separating on the insides. All 4 at once? This is on a 2005 Honda Odyssey van- this van has been maintained to the utmost. As a saleperson-I live in it. Also in the weekends I put some of my 10 grandchildren in it. The most valuable cargo anyone can have. Reason for the Honda brand. Safety etc. I was in shock when told this took it to a local tire place got second opinion. I rotate tires every 2000 miles as I change oil every 1000 miles. This is very very upsetting as dangerous. As if I drive it they will blow. The steel belts are going to come through the inside sidewalls. What on earth!!! I would expect this from a fly by night company. But someone needs to do something before someone is killed with a blow out. …
Aug 2008, purchased 4 versado lx tires at 46851 miles. On 14 aug 2011, had a tire blow on right rear on I-16. There was $75 damage to car as the tire tore the factory mud guard from the fender. Tire was replaced for $53 under warranty at 77968 miles. On 10 oct 11, returned to dealer and found 2nd tire separating. Replaced for $73 under warranty at 79720. On 23 May 2012, 3rd tire was found to be separating at 84275 miles. I contacted toyo by email. Rep called my local tire dealer, raffield tire, and discussed issue. Dealer was told to re-inspect 4th tire closely while replacing the 3rd tire for $83 under warranty. It appeared to be OK. On 3 jul 12 the 4th tire was replaced for $79 under warranty at 85676. Had long discussion with toyo customer service. Was told there were "no known issues with this tire". Very funny that all 4 tires for my vehicle failed. …
I purchased 4 Goodyear assurance touring p235/65r16 tires that were installed on 2005 Honda Odyssey lx. Vehicle was aligned and tires rotated, balanced, and pressure checked regularly. The tire was advertised with a 70,000 mile tread life warranty. At approximately 17,300 miles I noticed the tread on all 4 tires appeared to be separating from the tire when viewed from the side. I took it to original tire dealer who told me it was normal and there was nothing to worry about. At the next rotation, I again noted that the separation appeared to be getting worse. Again I was told that this is normal. At 24,000 miles, and within 400 miles of a rotation and balance, the tires developed a very mild vibration, which has never completely gone away, even with further rotation and balance. At 45,000 miles, there were cracks (possibly dry rot) beginning to form all over the sidewalls of the tires. …
My wife and I purchased a new Honda Odyssey van in 2005 which was equipped with pax runflat tires. At the time, we were told that the tires would wear like regular non run-flat tires, and would be 10-15% more expensive to replace. We were also told that all Honda dealers would have the necessary equipment to service these special tires. None of these statemants has proven to be true. The tires are all worn out at 31K miles, and we were quoted a price of $1300 plus tax to have them replaced. Worse yet, our neartest dealer (flagstaff Honda) does not have the necessary equipment to service them 2 years after their release. To make things worse, we now have a flat and gettign it fixed will require us to drive 50 MPH on a busy inerstate (where everyone else is doing 80+MPH) which I refuse to do. …
Premature tire wear. Honda Odyssey touring has Michelin pax tire system designated as a high-end premium feature safety system. These tires wear out in 23000 miles, which is well below standard tires offered on other Honda Odyssey packages. In addition, the pax system is a proprietary design offered only by one tire manufacturer, is not compatible with standard wheels, and requires dealer/tire service garages to have unique expensive mounting equipment. Few tire dealers support pax. Example: only one dealer in san diego supports pax. For travelers on the road who experience a failure, it will be difficult or impossible to locate a near by replacement. The Odyssey touring does not come with a spare tire, so the max run-flat distance of 100 mi May not be enough to reach tire store. …
