Tires: Tires for 02 Odyssey, michelins, turanza


Question
I recently purchased a set of Turanza LS-T's for my van. They ride great until you reach 70 mph, then the road noise is very loud. I have a 30 day trial and am cosidering trying the Michelin Harmony's. The tread pattern looks similar and I wonder if they will be as loud? Should I spend the extra $100 and get the michelins. The Harmonys have a 30 day trial as well. I live in Houston with lots of rain, so wet handling is important.

Answer
Dan, I would try the Michelins. Michelin takes great pride in producing a tire with a superior ride, handeling and noise. If you look close at the tread pattern you will see the Michelin tread blocks are differant sizes. This breaks up the harmonics the tire produces at higher speeds and makes for a quiter ride.

Hope this helps
