Best Tires for the 2010 Honda Odyssey
Touring: Michelin Premier A/S – $157.99/Tire
If you’re driving a Honda Odyssey, you’re going to need some good touring tires. These tires are built for comfort and traction on long trips down the highway — the commuter’s best friend and the road-tripper’s even-better friend.
Michelin Premiers use a sunflower oil-enhanced tread compound to keep solid traction in wet and cold conditions, with expanding rain grooves to keep the rubber dry.
Users rate the tire 9.1 for wet performance, 9.0 for dry, and 8.7 for comfort.
Performance: Yokohama Avid Ascend – $78.97/Tire
Performance tires are intended to give you the best possible grip for accelerating, braking and turning on blacktop. These are the perfect tires if you do most of your driving in the city.
You won’t find a lot of performance tires for the Odyssey, given that it’s not really intended for fancy driving. But the AVID Ascend offers a continuous center rib for constant contact with the road, and cross grooves to prevent hydroplaning.
Users give the tire an 8.7 for dry performance, with one driver noting that they are surprisingly effective in the rain.
All-Terrain: Firestone Winterforce CV – $173.21/Tire
If you do any driving on country roads, gravel, soft dirt and hills, you’ll need some all-terrain tires. These are tires that will hold a solid grip on any terrain.
The Winterforce CV is designed for the snow, but with deep channels and strong tie bars in the outboard shoulders that create a Kung Fu grip not only in snow, but through sand, dirt and mud, as well.
One user notes that they use this tire on their plow truck. Ironically, it has some problems on ice, so there are better winter tires available. But the all-terrain performance in warmer weather is excellent.
Winter/Snow: Michelin Latitude X-ICE XI2 – $137.20/Tire
If you drive through a lot of slush and ice in the winter, two things are of the utmost importance: treads designed to stomp right through choppy roads, and a rubber compound that won’t harden too much when it gets cold out.
These tires use a silica-based rubber in the treads that will stay flexible even at sub-zero temperatures, with directional tread design to cut right through the worst slush and prevent hydroplaning.
Users give the tire an 8.4 for winter performance, and an 8.8 for comfort, with one driver noting that the tires were still like new after 20,000 miles.
People Also Ask…
Does the 2010 Honda Odyssey come with a spare tire?
Yes. Look in the cargo area right above the tools on the left side. Many automakers have been phasing out the spare tire to bring the total weight of the vehicles down, but Honda still provides Odyssey drivers with the donut, even in the 2020 model.
What’s the recommended tire pressure for a 2010 Honda Odyssey?
33 psi in the front, and 35 psi in the back. This is assuming that you are driving a standard 2010 Odyssey with standard 2010 Odyssey tires. Check the sidewalls to make sure before inflating your tires. There’s always a chance the previous owner added custom wheels.
How do you reset the tire pressure indicator on a 2010 Honda Odyssey?
If you have steering wheel buttons: Menu > Customize settings > TPMS Calibration > Initialize > Yes, then press Menu again to exit. Otherwise, drive on the highway for 10 minutes to set your tires. If absolutely nothing else works, disconnect and reconnect your battery.
