my point ??!! THEY ARE STUPID EXPENSIVE. $350 PER TIRE ??!! INCLUDING MOUNTING AND BALANCING ?? AND UP TO 3 HOURS ??!! what was i thinking.......

AND to top it off, Michelin decides to discountinue the tires, AND they urge not to switch to conventional tires because the touring edition suspension was tuned on the run-flats......

FLAME ME OR FLAME ON !!

If you are questioning whether or not to buy a vehicle with this system I say you should not for several reasons;
1. The tires will not yield much more than 25K miles before they need to be replaced.
2. Replacing the tires will cost you in the neighborhood of $1,000 (usually higher) parts and labor.
3. Only Michelin tire stores and Honda dealers are able to service the tires due to it's unique bead/ wheel system.
4. American Honda has now made Pax system tires optional on 2008+ Touring Odysseys (it was standard equipment)

If you are currently stuck with these wheels You may do as other owners have started to do. Purchase a new set of wheels and tires from The Tire Rack, or a set of wheels that fit a 2005+ Odyssey or Ridgeline from a Honda dealer.

We charge 220 a tire plus 68 to install them! it's about 1200 or so for 4 tires and alignment

OR

Call michelin and bitch about the tread life, I know they have covered 50% of some tires!

these tires are horrible! Don't last as long as they should!

Also who decided to make these damn things weigh like 80lbs a pc
