The relatively new tire (29000 miles driven) did burst on the side. The discount tire store representative couldn't explain why? I have pictures that I can send you. In addition to the bills I incurred in the repair and replacement. Total cost $140.30 in total. The dealer believes it is a manufacturing defect.

I have a 2007 Honda Pilot ex. There were a couple of incidents that the brake/ oem tires (Goodyear made integrity) are not responsive well during sudden braking on dry road. The tires was not able stop the car from slipping and cause the ABS brake to be active. I contact Honda dealer a couple times and were told that the condition was normal for this car, no problem found. I then replaced all tires to Michelin. Now the car braking is much more responsive.

Ever since I bought the car on 5/25/2007 the tires always slip in wet weather. No matter how slow you stop or how slow you start out from a stop they slip 90 percent of the time. There has been lots of complaints about the "Goodyear integrity" tires that Honda puts on the Pilot's. all the complaints are about it slipping in wet weather and how unsafe it is. The complaints can be found at www.hondapilot.org. the tires are supposedly car tires and not SUV tires and the weight of the Pilot is too much for the traction of the tires in wet weather which posses a safety hazard when stopping especially if you have to stop fast. I made complaints to the dealer and they will not replace tires, I purchase a vehicle from Honda not from anyone else because of there reputation of a great vehicle and I currently feel unsafe with this vehicle or I know this is a possible class action lawsuit waiting to happen or I want is my tires replaced to a safe tire. I should not have to pay for new tires, Honda placed unsafe tires on vehicle.

2007 Honda Pilot vibration at speeds 65 and higher. Bought new tires, had them balanced three times by 2 different tire companies. Dealer (frank ancona Honda-olathe, ks)said they have never heard of this before on the Pilot. They said that the tires were the problem. There are thousands of people that have written on internet threads and blogs about this same problem. Honda basically said I'll have to live with the vibration & told me it was a waste of time for me to bring it back again.

Tires slip consistently upon right turn in rain, causing the vehicle to hydroplane and lose control. No matter how slow I make the turn. This occurs even when stopped before slowly turning right. I have never owned a vehicle that did this before. Extremely unsafe.

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Pilot. The vehicle has Goodyear integrity, size 175/70R13 tires. While driving 45 mph, the contact heard a funny sound and then the driver side rear tire blew out. The stabilizer failed when it was struck by the tire, along with the shock absorber. The vehicle was driven to a gas station. The contact called the dealer and a mechanic arrived and changed the tire. He then took the vehicle to the Honda dealer. The Honda dealer informed the contact that Goodyear would replace the tire; however, they still have not. The contact stated that the tires were inspected three days prior to the blow out and there were no failures at that time. Honda sent the remains of the tire to Goodyear. Goodyear sent a disclaimer, which stated that the tire had a leak that caused it to blow out. The contact stated that she had a mechanism in her vehicle that would have informed her if the tire pressure was low. The current mileage, dot number, and purchase date were unavailable. The failure mileage was 6,853.

We leased a new 2007 Honda Pilot on 12/29/07. Within two weeks we had 2 separate flat tires. Two weeks later a third tire went flat due to a leaking valve. Upon closer inspection that tire too had been patched. The dealer confirmed that it went flat before delivery and they patched it. This means that 3 out of 4 tires went flat in less than 1000 miles. The tires are: Goodyear integrity P235/70/R16 dot# 4808 B3wr 4906.

The tires on the 2007 Honda Odyssey -- touring model -- are Michelin pax -run flat tires. You cannot take the vehicle to just any tire repair shop to fix a flat, you must go to a dealership that has the appropriate equipment. This means making an appointment (waiting a day) and hopefully you are close to a major city. I spoke with a representative at Michelin tires and they said if I were to be in a remote location they would send a tire out to me & pay for accommodations until I received the tires. Honda & Michelin are not set up to provide the consumer with service/accessibility to maintain this tire. I feel Honda should have informed about the problems associated with this product and given me a choice. I would not have purchased a car with these tires. I have 3 small children and now have to be concerned about getting a flat tire in a remote location, and fear for our personal safety. I choose now to only travel near major cities. Honda said I would need new rims & tires... and they do not seem to want to help. I am hoping you can provide me with a contact or give me some info on how to get these tires off my vehicle. Also shouldn't Honda be willing to replace a product that has issues associated with it. When I had my flat tire I took my car to 3 tire shops and was told they would not touch the pax-tire & they had no plans on acquiring the equipment to fix them because it was too expensive and not enough vehicles have the tire system to make it cost effective. Honda first needs to better inform the consumer what they are getting into and the issues associated with this tire system... second they need to provide those of us who don't want the tires a way to switch them out. It cost about $150 to fix a flat! please help me get these tires replaced!!!!
