All four tires failed inspection due to dry rot cracks in the tread on may 15, 2017. Tires were purchased on june 5, 2012. Tires were installed at 45707 miles, failure noted at 80010 miles. Costo technician claimed failure was due to vehicle not being driven enough. This seems like a handy excuse and very subjective. When I asked the garage owner who did the inspection if this was a valid reason his response was it is not and said he has seen a lot of this type of failure in michelin tires in the past 6 to 8 years. Please not all four (4) tires failed, not just one. Details of this form required me to select which tire but again, all four failed. ..updated 06/06/17

Purchased car in december 2013. Vehicle makes a rumbling sound above the radio dash board when car reaches 30-35 miles per hour. Took car to service and was informed that car needed front end alignment and that tires were not wearing evenly. Had front end alignment completed. Car still makes rumbling sound. Have not had this experience on previous models. Sound is annoying. Considering rotating and/or replacing tires. What then if sound continues?

Today 2/15/13 , when my family and I were driving from austin to houston around 7:30 am on a 2007 honda odyssey mini van a one of four tires exploded. We did not hit anything on the highway it just exploded in an area close to the rim. It was a rear tire. We called aaa to come to help us and later we went to 2 different goodyear tire outlets and I noticed that all tires of these kind had bubbles all over the tires. The tires were bought less than 3 years ago and have about half of its treads left on them.

Going south on hwy 5 from just outside sacrament, (by freeport) we struck something not visible in the road and the vehicle warned us we had a flat and not to exceed 50 MPH. Our minivan was equipped with michelin pax system run flat tires and no spare. We pulled of the hwy at elk grove and called the local honda dealer. It was almost 5pm and they said could not help until tuesday. The manual said we could go 125 miles with a flat tire and our home was less than 60 miles away so we put on the cruise control at 50 MPH on hwy 5, then hwy 12 west, and then hwy 160 south. Just north of the antioch bridge the front left tire shredded and we were stranded in the middle of nowhere for over an hour until aaa provided assistance. I contacted michelin and honda on tuesday following and michelin offered to pay 30% of the cost of a new tire but nothing towards the cost of removing the tire and putting a new one on. Honda offered nothing. I rejected michelin's offer and they raised it to 50 % and I still rejected it and we have taken the vehicle to a tire store to replace all four wheels and tires because we feel the run flat system is defective and dangerous.

Honda odyssey 2007. Sudden unintended acceleration. While approaching at about 5mph to a stop sign with a stopped vehicle before me, I applied the brake but rather than stopping, the car lurched and the tachometer rose to >2000. I kept my foot down and applied more force on the brake and the car then came to full stop. This is very disconcerting. We bought this vehicle new and after ~ 15000 miles, the car vibrated excessively while traveling at 60-70 MPH. Per repair shops, all four tires were "deformed" and cannot be repaired and needed to be replaced.

2007 honda odyssey (touring) and michelin pax tires. The premature wear and limited service availability of the pax tires makes this vehicle unsafe for highway driving. A suit was pushed through federal district court (maryland) on this and provided no viable relief to the situation. It favored the attorneys involved in filing the suit. The issue of practicality of these tires is now clear since michelin has now terminated the pax line from new vehicles, thus in time the current limited durability will be further degraded by the age of existing pax tires to service the vehicles which were fitted for this "revolutionary" design. I experienced a premature catastrophic failure of one of my tires and had to struggle (out of state) to find a honda dealer with the equipment to replace the tire. If you have a need on a friday night you will be marooned until the next business week to find a michelin or honda dealer with the expensive equipment necessary to replace a tire needing replacement. Thus creating a safety issue if my wife and young child are on the open road and stuck somewhere. Neither honda or michelin are standing behind this product. The van is great except the tire system. I cannot find a local honda dealer willing to confront honda on swapping tire systems. The closest one is in cleveland, oh (I live in great falls, va). Online research clearly identifies there is a problem but neither honda or michelin are developing a reasonable remedy. Your tire page does not list the michelin tire I have. My michelin is 235-710r460a 104t.

2 complaints, first one is the power steering pump went at 35000 miles. Honda did replace it under warranty. But the pump in now at 60,000 miles is going bad. Second complaint, the front left hub bearing went bad way too early, 50,000 miles. This is a very dangerous problem. Called honda and the local honda dealership several times and received no help at all. They would not cover this part or the workmanship to replace it. Now at 65,000 miles the van is making the same noise so I am assuming another hub bearing is going bad. I have never purchase a honda before this one, I will never buy another.
