I live in Canada & going to buy the above van soon. An article about it in Popular Science magazine said it had "run flat" tires. They put in a "doughnut" spare & standard tires on the ones sold in Canada. I've been told by a tire dealer that these run flat tires cost $450 ea. (Can.) & only last
Run-flats on the Touring model in the US, but no run flats at ALL on the Canadian models.
This is because the run-flats would not suit the Canadian market, with its increased likelihood of owners wanting to swap to winter tires.
US owners, then, are screwed. Thanks, Honda.
Due to our Canadian dollar being 20% lower, you can get these tires for $360 US dollars up here. (20% off of $450). Why do the rims have to be replaced? Tires glued on? The Touring model, like all the rest, has plain tires, not Pax.
In Canada, no PAX. Canadian Honda chose not to do PAX. American Honda chose to do PAX.
