Micheline PAX Tires
Before our Disney trip we replaced all four of the PAX tires on my wife's van. The day after we returned home we found that the rear left had picked up a nail and had gone flat. Now at a little under $400/tire these tires are expensive to replace. So I thought I would just get one of those tire plug kits. I've used it on my 930 before and it works great. According to Micheline and also in the odyssey manual you cannot repair these tires. There is a semi-solid ring that is mounted on the wheel that allows you to drive with a flat. So I don't understand why you can't repair the tire itself. This has actually happened twice now in two different states and both dealers say the same thing. Can anyone shed some light on this? Cash cow for dealers or is there a lagitimate reason for the insanity?
