Before my current set of Continentals, I was running the Bridgestone Ecopia EP422+. That tire seemed to meet your desires perfectly. It had great wet traction, but it stuck to the road a little too well. Barely lasted 30k.

 

[Almost-A-Bus]

Just got mine used. It had Bridgestone Ecopia of some flavor, and atleast in cold weather they are hard hockey puck garbage without traction. Now it is on Michelin X-Ice (an older version) for the remainder of cold weather, and does quite well. It will still light up the tires if told too or I really get on it, but its less accidental.

I've been leaning towards the CrossClimate2 for my 2009. Pirelli is out of the question as they will likely last 20k. Goodyear may last 30k. I just keep hearing so many good opinions of the CC2s though, but I don't know what type of mileage I can expect from them before they become ineffective.

Have 2009 Odyssey LX about 170K miles now, owned Bridgestone (OEM), Goodyear Assurance, 2 set of CONTINENTAL TRUECONTACT TOUR. The Cont. is the best, first set 4 tires last over 50K miles (mix city highway drive), 2nd set is still as good as the 1st set, running strong! The brake distance using Cont tires is much much better/shorter than Goodyear.
I am not a friend of Michelin anymore. Installed 4 brand new Mic. PRIMACY MXV4, less than 250 miles, one tire with side wall crack (what the he!!). My another 2020 car installed with 4 Mic, I noticed they are aging on rubber surfaces. Mic. does not hold their reputation anymore, expensive and low grade quality products in my experience.

We also live in the PNW and I have used Michelin tires for years. On my Corvette I use Michelin AS4+ in the Fall/Winter/Spring - yields better tire grip during the cold/wet seasons, and switch to Michelin Pilot Sprot 4s for summer driving.

For my wife's Odyssey, we put on Michelin Cross Climate 2s and have been very happy with them. I'm guessing that you put on the Michelin AS-4s's and you should be quite happy with them.

Y'all need to remember......... your Odyssey weighs as much as most 1/2 ton pick-ups. Michelin Defender LTX m&s is smooth, quiet, and long -lasting. It will not hydroplane and has almost as good traction in snow as a winter tire. Your family will be safe riding on the LTX m&s. They're not cheap, neither are your wife and kids!

The stock tires keep losing traction when taking off from a dead stop to merge with traffic. Almost 1k miles on the tires so maybe the tires aren’t broken in yet? I think that much power to only the front tires is a bit silly, but that’s just my opinion. We just sold an AWD ‘20 Passport and it never had this problem. Looking for advice on performance tires that also work good in wet weather since I live in the PNW. I had a Challenger that I put Michelin Pilot Sports on and it made a huge difference, so I was wondering what is the magic tire to make the Ody’s front-wheel drive power stick to the road? I don’t care about tire longevity or road noise or anything else other than having tires that stick to the road. I appreciate any help and advice. I assume other Ody drivers have this same issue with peeling out from a stop if you punch the gas a little to get up to speed with traffic. Almost feels like the gas pedal is a bit touchy, but this is my first Ody and first minivan so its all a learning experience. Thanks again for reading this and I apologize if this came off rude.

When the original tires on our 2010 Odyssey EX-L wore out, I replaced with with Michelin Defenders and only got around 30K out of them, so replaced them with Continental TruContacts and have been very happy with them so far (albeit less then 15k miles). We too live in the PNW.

 

[Bear3412]

I was just going for stickiness.

Well then, you chose the right tires.

 

[JimB3]

That’s what I was thinking, too. A good set of Michelins for the front and keep the other tires for the rear.

So I guess you're not planning on rotating them?

 

[JimB3]

Sounds like Michelins are the way to go. I don’t have a lot of experience with Goodyear though. Thank you all for posting, can’t wait to get these on and feel a bit safer haha.

While I've been happy with the ride quality of some of the Goodyear tires I've owned (most notably a set of Assurance tires I had on my '08 Odyssey), they've always been a disappointment mileage wise. I routinely get 50k+ miles from a set of tires, but any Goodyears I've ever had (cars/trucks/Jeeps) have never made it much past 30k. I've got a set of Continental TrueTracs on the '08 Odyssey that I really like. My '19 Odyssey still has the OEM Bridgestones on it. I've been very satisfied with those.

 

[gsba]

I swapped out the Bridgestones with Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus two weeks after I got my 21 EXL. I have 16K on them now and have been really happy with them. Much better over all traction and the wear seems to be good so far.

Agreed. I put the same tire on 2018 EX-L. They are also quieter.

 

[JimiJamm]

Once you go with Michelin - the difference will be obvious not just traction but also handling - We purchased our Odyssey new it had Continental tires - after 50K we purchased Michelin on sale @ Coscto

 

[Ekalb]

We missed out on the Michelin Costco deal when we needed tires before our vacation. I went with the new Altimax RT-45's from discount tire. Been happy with them so far. We'll see how they wear compared to the original tires. I plan on rotating them at Discount every 5K miles which is more often than I did on the Bridgestones.

I have very good results with GoodYear Assurance® All-Season. I am on my 2nd set.

Our Odyssey came with Michelin OEM tires. GoodYear and cheaper and perform the same. I am a Costco memeber. I perfer Michelin over the other brands if the price are close.Not inthis case though.

There is little hope that any tire, short of something like a street legal drag tire (soft), that will get you enough traction out of that 'one' wheel, the Ody isn't a posi-traction rig, with anything close to a full 280 horse launch, or even half that! Better to peddle the throttle a bit to prevent wheel spin, as you aint-a-gainin' anything while spinning! The better part of valor may mean not attempting to beat some oncoming traffic to the lane, unless you can do a rolling launch! My 2020 will do the same if "over throttled" at launch, but once rolling at over 25-30 mph full throttle will merge you with about anything short of having to make the dollar to get it done!

This is our first Ody with only 1,000 miles, and while I shouldn’t be rough on it right now, I do notice that once the car is rolling you can punch it and the tires won’t spin. I guess that’s just how an Ody performs?

I highly recommend getting a set of theses.

So after all that, I went with the Michelin CrossClimate 2 🤷‍♂️

I keep hearing great things about them. I'm most interested in the longevity of the tread. They have a very stiff sidewall and seem like a really solid tire.
