they only made their OEM rims [made by enkei] in 16 X 6.5 and the widest you can go with that is 225. think economics....they spec it out to save and maximize...
I can't dispute any claim that 17 X 7 Acura TSX rims and fitted with Falken 225/55 ZR17's may give sharper handling, but I studied the specs on wider tire/rim...
John, I can attest that the 225/55 ZR 17's do handle better than the crappy Michelin OEM's. And yes, the tire I fitted had the correct load index which is as...
Anthony; I just checked specs in Tire Rack-you are giving up 176 pounds in GVWR for the 225/55/17's (44 lbs per tire). OK, that's only 176/6000=3%, but what...
I bought a 2005 Odyssey in August. The "check fuel cap" warning keeps flashing. I have taken the cap off and put it back on several times clicking at least 3...
Hi all ,just found this forum today, here goes...... Have a 1994 Honda Odyssey imported to Dublin , Ireland from Japan. Bought it 7 years ago , never had any...
Looking at that tire size calculator, it seems that it really only does the simple math for you rather than compares actual tires' sizes- I have an '01 that...
John, the GVWR sticker on my door jamb says 5565 lbs. I know the van alone does not weigh that much. It only comes to that point when I load more of course. ...
After making sure you put the gas cap properly, take off the positive or negative terminal of your battery making sure you have all your codes [radio etc.] on...
Based on a conversation with a rep at Tire Rack, I think I have been dissuaded from the oh-so-expensive Michelin Hydroedge in favor of the "under $100 a tire...
GVWR= Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. That is what the vehicle plus cargo is rated to weigh. Not more with driver. That's part of why you see Ford Exploders...
I had a 2001 Ody, same noise problem, it was the belt. However Riverside Honda service writer said it was the A/C unit. They (he said) took it apart an it had...
stirlendennis: Did you get your $1000 back? :-( Michael: I was thinking the same thing about the belt. You seem to have two accessories affected...the...
I finally had to do it. Had the transmission rebuilt for the first time, 130,000 miles. The transmission now seems fine except for a noise when it shifts...
I have owned this 2000 Ody EX since April 2005 and the only problem is squeaky brakes, both front and rear. Since I live about 1/2 mile off the main highway on...
Hey, Has any of the 06 owners had problems with crackly static noise from the back speakers? Got it on my brand new O6! Sounds like a wire somewhere is...
Not a problem? Did you pay money for the rebuild? Well it's not a problem for them if they can get you to go away, but if you paid for a re-build and it is...
I own a 2000 Ody and a 2002 Accord, and have not had squeaky brake issues with either. (They do, however, have a tendency to warp rotors.) This includes the...
So I went from thinking Hydroedge or Assurance TriTread, to having a tirerack guy talk me into a BFG Traction T/A. Then I found I could not get them because...
OEM is fine. Do you plan to drive your Odyssey at 130mph for sustained periods of time? If not, you don't need the H rated tire. -- Nelson 1990 Mustang LX...
My feelings exactly. The tire guy said "You want the H rated because you will have better handling, cornering, and overall grip". Maybe so, but I will also...
Unless you drive your minivan down hills at 130MPH, you do not need the H rating. In general, H rated tires wear faster too. (although they may provide a...
How much do you spend on insurance for your car? I'm amazed how people treat tires as commodities, rather than essential components related to safety and...
It's almost over. I went to TiresPlus in suburban Philadelphia. 3.5 hours later, after learning I was out of allignment and one allignment adjuster was...
I have owned a 2001 LX for 4 years and now going to sell it. It is silver, mint condition with no damage, and 31,450 miles. I have had seat covers on the...
Hello All, I just bought a 2006 Honda Odyssey. I traded up from the Honda Element. I have the EX-L model. I installed an MP3 auxillary jack immediately so I...
Always dangerous territory I realize, but it's time to replace the OEM tires my '02 Ody EX-L and I'm looking for suggestions. I live in So. Calif., which as...
In my humble opinion, while it's under warranty, ALWAYS take it to the dealer (or other authorized warranty provider). Reason being is that you never know if...
I just bought 4 new Goodyear Comfort Tread tires at my local Goodyear store. The ride is the quietest and smoothest of any tires I have used in the past!...
