Hey Scotty.  I have a 2017 Honda Odyssey SE with over 56k miles.  It has P235/65R17 Michelin Primacy MXV tires.  They are the original tires and the tread is worn.  These tires performed well.  Do you have any recommendations for all season tires?  Thanks

If you were happy with the original tires why not just buy a new set of them?


Good point. Thanks

The General Altimax AT43 are highly rated and probably about $100 less expensive per set(4 tires) than the Michelins. Also depending on where you live, they have higher ratings for traction on snow.

I've been running the RT43s for quite a few years, they're excellent tires for the price. They are being replaced by the new Altimax RT45.

Good to know. Thank you.

Michelins have a reputation with tire guys for being well made and balancing easily (customers get grumpy when their new tires have a vibration right out of the shop; Michelins rarely do that).  My experience with Michelin also has been good.  But you definitely pay a premium.

@avalon04 has a good suggestion in the General RT43 - very well reviewed tire.  Maybe not quite to the level of the Michelins, but very close and definitely worth the price.  

You might also take a look at Vredestein.  They are a European brand that is very good and is selling at a discount to its competitors to gain North American market share.  My daughter has a set on her Crosstrek that has been phenomenal (must be getting close to 50,000 miles and still look new).  Hard to find, but you can order them off Tire Rack and have them installed by a local shop.  [A similar option - high quality brand that is underpricing to gain American market share - is Nokian.  They are a Finnish company that just invested in a new factory in the US.  I don't have personal experience with them, but their "One" series tires have very good reviews and sell at a discount to comparable tires from other high end brands.]
