1 Tire problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2009

Honda/michelin pax tires (no flat) are design for only about 20-30k miles. This information was not disclosed at the time of the purchase of my vehicle. They have deceived the consumer that this is a quality product. In addition, these tires are flawed and expensive to replace and your car can't be DE-pax. If they are not replaced every two years it can cause serious performance problems which can lead to unnecessary crashes. As a concerned consumer about this product and many others we would like a recall on this product ASAP! Honda and michelin are aware of this defect, however they are not doing anything but passing the buck to one another.

2 Tire problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2008

Michelin recently discontinued the manufacturing of the pax system worldwide and will no longer offer it. There is also special training, certifications and equipment required to install or repair pax tires. The absence of adequate repair facilities and pax system stock has resulted in consumers having to travel long distances and/or being required to wait days to obtain repair to damaged tires, replacement tires and/or the pax systems themselves. The problems that consumers are experiencing with the pax system likely will worsen now that michelin has abandoned the pax system. What is the american Honda motor company?s recommended alternative for pax system equipped vehicle owners that need new tires?.
