Getting ready to replace tires on my odyssey.

I'm curious about folks experience with what I guess we could call 'off brand' tires such as Westlake, Nankang, Mesa, sentury, etc.

Versus the name brands - Mich, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, etc.

I will say that I have owned a couple of vehicles with OEM Michelin's and was not overly impressed with what they would cost to replace.

I feel tires are a safety item. I assume this minivan is used to transport family members.

I would not go cheap unless forced to.

Those brands are great if you're selling.

Discount tires does have private
Label arizonian, Yoko YK740, Pirelli Cinturato models that are all exclusive to them that are priced reasonably.

Cheap tires are false economy.

Also OE tires may have the same model name and ratings but are made to the OEM car manufacturer spec. Not the tire manufacturer spec. That's why some OE tires
Last 15-20K miles and then it leaves a sour
Taste in your mouth.

A couple of things, first and foremost, like a poster mentioned above tires are safety equipment. If this is for a minivan I can only assume your family is riding in it. Personally that's not where I'd choose to cheap out and save money.

As far as replacing tires go I always replace tires before needed and don't try to get every mile out of a tire. I knew someone that tried to push the limit on getting the max life out of a set of tires. His daughter was killed in a car crash after her car hydroplaned. Simply not worth the money when talking about loved ones safety.

Lastly, if you're in a minivan I'm guessing there are kids involved. Better tires will be quieter, if I've got a van full of kids talking over road noise I want that road noise to be as low as possible.

I have four 305/30 19 Pilot Sport Cup 2s sitting in the garage if you want a lot of mechanical grip (just do not drive in the rain)

I should have mentioned Tirerack.com is a good resource when researching tires, good ratings system for users as well as professional reviews for many tires.

So what are some tire recommendations for an Odyssey (235/60/r18) ? Car drives ~10-12k miles a year.

My wife had a blowout this weekend. Tire was OEM (turanza el440) with ~31k miles on them. Trying to figure out if I want to replace in pairs or replace all 4.

I went with Turanza's but the others I narrowed it down to were Toyo Q/T and General Altimax

I would recommend something like YK740GTX, CS5 Ultra Touring, Discoverer HTP, etc. Theyre all in the 140-170 dollar range.

The Michelin Defender T+H is a great tire, rides nice and performs supreme in the rain and wet, and priced around 200 bucks each, but at 10K/year, the tires will dry rot before you get all the miles out of them. If you're ok with that, its worth a look.

Yukon came with a set of bridgestone dueler h/l alenza p285/45r22. 34k mi on them and they need to be replaced. No complain on these except for the tread life. Any recommendations on a good replacement that doesn't sacrifice performance / tread life for aesthetics?

We just put a set of 70,000 mile Michelins from Costco on our Odyssey and love them so far. Yes they're more expensive but I trust their safety and they're quiet and we'll get close to 70,000 miles out of them.

I went through 2 sets of Yoko Avid Acends then now Yk740 2 days ago. My experience with Yokos vs Michelin is Yokos last longer. But your experience may vary.

OEM ALenzas are different than aftermarket replacement.

That being said its also on the cheaper end of the spectrum on the replacement side.
I'd also look at the Yokohama YK-HTX (60K warranty) , Dueler LT-H (70K warranty) (both Discount tire exclusives) but the Defender LTX is the champion, but also almost 160 bucks more PER TIRE than the Alenzas.
