    I am leaning toward a set of Pirelli P3000's - anyone have anything bad to
    say about them? What tires do you like for this car?

    Thanks,

    Unfortunately, they don't make the right size - 215/65/16 for the Odyssey.
    And their closest Texas dealer is 400+ miles from me.

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye on the brand though.

  4. I am very pleased with the Yokohama AVID TRZ on my 2000 Accord - my
    sister-in-law had the Pirellis on her Mazda - found them quite noisy.

    I put BF Goodrich Traction T/As on my '01 Ody EX last year and I've been
    happy with them.

    Bummer.

    What year Odyssey? They make the size for my 02.

  7. I had P3000s on our Toyota for a while. They were okay but "sang" on smooth
    road - an odd flying saucer sound.

    Sorry. Stupid me.

    OK, your tire size is 215-65/16? Hmmmmm....my 02 is a 225-60/16...I
    wonder why they changed that....

    Anyway, Nokian's web site confirms that that's the size--and that they
    do make a WR in that size:

    I have to say, I bought mine for my Lexus because I liked the idea of an
    all-season tire that earned the winter snowflake designation. Nokian
    knows winter tires.

    Apparently, they also know all-season tires, because these things are
    stunningly capably in all conditions and stunningly quiet at all times.
    I have about 20K miles on mine, and they're wearing very, very well.
    And not once have I ever felt unsure about them, even driving to
    Cleveland through a snowstorm in late December.

    As their blurb says:

    "Only four-season family of tires that carries the Severe Service Emblem
    exceeding new government snow condition regulations"

    I don't think that's just hot air.

    (A.W.P. stands for "all weather passenger")

    I love my Nokian WR. The 02 Ody is finally ready for new shoes, and
    that's going to be my choice.

    I've got Bridgestone Turanza LS-Ts on my Sienna. Excellent tire for a
    minivan, better than the Michelin X-One I had previously. Reasonably
    priced, too.

    I've used and been happy with Pirelli's higher performance tires but
    have not been impressed with their lower-end tires.

    I do like what I see regarding the Nokian - they seem to be a scandinavian
    company based on the different model names they gave their tires. And I was
    wrong - they do come in the right size for me. But the closest dealer is in
    Houston and I'm in Dallas.

    I have placed an order for a set of Michelin Destinys with Discount Tire.
    They have a $50 rebate right now on them; they have excellent buyer ratings;
    plus I can get another $25 off because I signed up for their own credit card
    (plus no interest for 90 days). Even with the replacement insurance on each
    tire ($14.80 each) the total after rebates and including sales tax will be
    less than $470 - for tires that are rated to last 80K miles. Plus free
    rotation and balancing through the full term of ownership.

    I hope Nokian will get a dealer in the Dallas area so I can get a firsthand
    look at their product!

    Thanks for all the recommendations.
