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, Be

Nokian WR. Fantastic tire.
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.

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.

Bummer.
What year Odyssey? They make the size for my 02.
I had P3000s on our Toyota for a while. They were okay but "sang" on smooth road - an odd flying saucer sound.

Mine's an O1 (see subject line)...

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:
Apparently, they also know all-seas "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.
