help with tire replacement
a customer recently came to the shop and asked when she needed tires how much and yadda yadda. i looked on her honda mini van and saw that they had switched to a 235-710-R460A. and they are not cheap tires. the question is has anyone tried to convert to a regular size yet that you know of? i did my math and it converts to an 18.11 inch rim. but i am do not want to tell anyone to try it if i havent myself or i dont have facts to back me. thanks

you are talking about pax tires. why would you want to do that? those tires/wheel weight close to 100 pounds each. they are run flats with a ring in the rim. i work at honda and those tires are a pain to change cost about 1200 for 4 new ones installed. labor is 1.5 hours and tires are 3xx each.

the machine we use to change it is a hunter machine. we have to use speacial rollers and we use the orbitor to get the ring out. i can do one pax tire in about 20 mins

just asking it was just somebody that came by the shop, i didnt know if anyone had done some. i guess its a pain. she might have to just stick to those. we dont have the machine an dont plan to get it. do you guys know why they started to use those and if they are going to continue to use them in the future? thanks
