These tires are a disaster for Honda and the automobile owner. We waiting for 2 hours before being told there was no mechanic "qualified" to operate the machinery necessary to change a flat. The service adviser then tried to send us away to another dealer saying "sorry nothing we can do" before the supervisor came in and made things right. To Honda's credit, they gave us another Odyssey while they were fixing it but it sure was a pain. I'm told there is a way to retrofit out conventional wheels in place of the run flats, but the catch is there is no spare tire in this vehicle.

Major problem getting service for these Run Flat tires used on the Touring model Odyssey and the cost of repairs, any where from 100.00 as high as 118.00 for a flat repair, and $500.00 + for a new tire. Not all Honda dealers, as advertised, even offer these tires compounding the repair problems that service should be provided by a Honda dealer. If you travel outside the US Honda doesn't offer these tires at all so if you have a problem with these tires your out of luck, also you cannot plug these tires. None of this information was ever made available by the dealer, in fact the dealer never new about these tires not being available outside the US. Honda service dept. have told me they are having nothing nothing but problems with these tires, they claim it takes two men 2/3 hrs. to repair one tire, does that sound crazy, Honda should offer these as an option not as your only choice!!!!

Odyssey Touring 3.5L V6
$508.29 for two tires. First, and foremost, the salesman made no mention of the uniqueness of the tires. Certainly, did not mention that was no spare tire. Secondly, had he advised me that the tires would cost over 250.00 each to replace, I would not have purchased the vehicle. I'm stuck with it now, but I'll certainly be careful when I purchased another vehicle.....notice I did not say Honda!!
