    While driving on the freeway, noticed thumping noise coming from tires and vibration in the entire vehicle. Pulled over and noticed a large bulge on one of the tires and the bulge was on the treads. The tire store described this as tire tread separation. This happened twice on two separate occasions within three months while driving on the freeway. Two of the four toyo versado tires on my vehicle failed as a result…

I took it to original tire dealer who…

    I purchased a honda odyssey touring model with pax tires. I inquired about the tires at the time of purchase and did not want them. At the time i was not educated on the expenses the lack of facilities that care work with the tire and issues related to warranty with this car. It has been a nightmare having pax tires and has created a huge recurring expense for me. *tr

    Honda odyssey touring, michelin pax tire system is a consumer rip off. The tire wear is nowhere near what is claimed by the manufacturer and the rubber compound is so soft that they are punctured by every nail or screw on the road. Every flat costs a minimum of $50.00 to fix because of the jel-pack required when patching. Honda does not provide a spare tire or even a donut spare for emergencies. The tires are…

    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…

    Well, the pax tires that are on my 2005 honda odyssey are junk. From my own experience i can tell you i have taken out a small loan to replace 2 of the tires and i do a lot of highway driving. The vehicle is under regular maintenance and i keep it in excellent shape. This is why i was so shocked to hear i needed new tires in 1/2 the time a normal set of tires would be needed. It is shocking but i was told this is…

    I own a 2005 honda odyssey touring with michelin pax run flat tires. I was recently informed by honda service that my tires needed to be replaced (were worn to 4/32nds) at only 17k miles and at a cost of $300+ per tire. Additionally, even to patch the tire with a small nail puncture would cost $90+. I feel that the premature wear on these tires is a defect and the owners of this vehicle are being faced with frequent…

    The michelin pax tire system: honda used this pax system on touring versions of the odyssey mini van in 2005 (and beyond but mine is a 2005). These tires wear extremely fast and unevenly. They are either an extremely poor design or are defective. Replacements can only be found at honda dealers. This is mostly an annoyance and ends up costing the owner thousands of dollars more over the life of the vehicle. However,…
