2002 Honda Odyssey Tires

I have less than 40K on my 2002 Honda Odyssey tires and they need to be
replaced. Have other people had this problem.

What tire would you recommend for a replacement. I checked TireRack and
they had a nice Bridgestone.

 

Yes.

I personally think that the Toyo 800 Ultras are the way to go.

 

I replaced tires on my '00 Odyssey at 54,000 miles. Original tires
were Michellin Symmetry's and we upgraded to Michellin Harmony tires
with 80k warranty. The Symmetry tires had approx a 60k warranty but we
expect to keep the van for several years and wanted to buy the best.
The Toyo tires are also a great tire but not available in this area
any longer so we made the above change.
Good luck, Ron

 

Are the Harmony tires quieter than the Symmetrys?

Despite the additional 20k warranty, the Harmony tires seem to be as
quiet as the Symmetry tires.
We have some blacktop surfaces in our neighborhood that, at slow
speeds, tend to be a good test on road noise and the Harmony line seems
as quiet as the Symnetry line.
Both are virtually silent at highway speed. Incidentally, the Harmony
tires balanced with as little as 1/4 oz. on the total mounted wheel
assembly. One tire took 1 oz. on the inside and 1/4 oz. on the outside
so the tire mold is pretty darn good in manufacturing.

The reason I asked about the noise of Harmony tires is that my 2000 Ody is
not very quiet in the interior. And I'm not sure if the Symmetry tires
contribute to that or not. Anyway, thanks for the response.

Re. the interior noise of the Odyssey, we think the "well" for the spare
as well as for the third seat might have some resonating noise.
Though I don't think it is particularly objectionable, all things
considered with the Odyssey, I have fashioned a "blue board" insulating
item which sits on top of the spare to see if it helped. Also tried
some closed cell insultating material, but really can't tell enough
difference to matter.
An interesting side note....until the '05 Chrysler vans came out, they
pointed at those two "wells" in the Odyssey as source of noise and vowed
that Chrysler would NEVER go that that design. Guess what, the Ford new
van, the 05 Chrysler vans, and the Sienna vans have all gone to the
Honda third seat into the floor. I guess that the market place dictates
more than the earlier sales pitches by the late comers, huh?

The O.E.M. tires that the Odyssey comes with are junk. I have a 2001 EXL,
and had the same problem- ironically at the same mileage! I went with the
Michelin HydroEdge, and they are incredible!! They truly shine in
ice/snow/rain.
Good Luck!
