Es muss nicht unbedingt ein Michelin sein(meiner Meinung nach in allen Größen und Ausführungen das absolute non plus Ultra)
That 3.5L V6 is buttery smooth and powerful — proper sleeper sedan feel.
Cabin’s still super comfy, feels premium even today.
Reliable engine if maintained right, and new Yokohamas are a good sign someone cared.
You’ll definitely stand out — not many V6s left running around.
It drinks fuel like crazy. Expect 5–6 km/l in city, maybe 9 on highways if you drive easy.
Honda never sold too many V6s, so some parts can be pricey or take time to source.
The timing belt change is expensive (₹50–70k job with labour and water pump).
Regular service at a good garage will be around ₹15–20k; authorised service centers will charge more.
VCM (cylinder deactivation) can act up — oil burning or misfires if not maintained properly.
Suspension and mounts wear faster due to weight; replacements are expensive.
Low resale — not many buyers for a thirsty V6, so you’ll have to love it enough to keep it.
Big car in tight cities — parking and ground clearance can be annoying.
Insurance and taxes higher due to engine size (>3L category).
Heat management — some owners complain about heat soak in slow traffic; check radiator and fan condition.
Definitely Michelin Crossclimates. I have owned Hondas since 1985 and have always put Michelin’s on my cars, SUVs and mini-vans. The Crossclimates are the best Michelin tires I have ever purchased. Loved them so much, I put them on my CRV that had low mileage on its original set of tires.
Ich habe gerade Michelin auf meinem Fahrzeug, wo sich selbst ein Sachverständiger wundert, warum die mit so vielen Kilometern noch halten wo andere Reifen schon vor 2 Jahren runtergefahren gewesen wären.
The Michelins are smoother, quieter and have far better traction and thus handling. I got them because they have an 80K miles warranty and are rated #1 by “that” consumer magazine.
The Michelin Crossclimate 2's are about the best passenger tire available right now, it's what I have on our Odyssey.
In Florida, have had Michelin Defender 2 on last two Odysseys. They are rated to go 95,000 miles. So they may cost a little more up front, but a good value over time.
I've always used Michelin Defenders for heavier vehicles like vans. They may be slightly noisier, but they last *forever*.
I ran them for a decade on my old M135i. They’re great tyres, if a little compromised compared to the newer generation. They’re not great in the wet or cold, and the performance does start to drop off before you get to the legal tread depth minimum.
Imao sam Michelin Crossclimate 2 u dimenziji 235/50/18 na crossoveru. Jednostavno nisu odgovarale mom stilu vožnje. Solidne za po zimi, po ljeti se troše ko lude na autoputu. Put kočenja i po ljeti i po zimi duži nego da imaš ljetne po ljeti ili zimske po zimi.
