I have an '05 Odyssey Touring edition w/Michelin run flat tires. I am
happy with the van except no one makes snow tires for it. I live in
the snow belt.

After much investigation (Tire Rack, Honda America HQ, dealership,
local tire stores,) the only solution I can find is to take off the run
flats, put on conventional snow tires and drive around with a spare in
the back.

Has anyone else encountered this problem and what you done about it?

Yours in the winter,


Sheena

That's why I hate what they've done with the new Odyssey. I can't buy
top of the line without this problem.

Tires are a very personal choice, and they've taken that very important
personal choice away.

TireRack does offer a small sellection of wheels which will work with the
Bridgestone Blizzak snow tire, not a cheap alternative I know.

Sorry, that's only for the LE and EX versions, not the Touring . . .

this year the dealer can order touring models with or without PAX
tires. I personally wouldn't own them, only honda and rolls
royce are using them.
tire kingdom got fully trained and equipped but corporate said
let's drop it. they won't deal with them anymore.
there are no snow tires available for that dumb system yet.
