I've got to get new tires on our 2005 Honda Odyssey. I would like some all season's because we live in snow country. What do you all recommend? Anything to stay away from?
Thanks!

What size?
As a Colorado guy living at 8200' I suggest all terrain tires. Much better in snow & mud than all season tires. We swap out the all season in the beginning of winter for all terrain & switch back to all season come spring. Check tirerak.com for great buys, reasonable shipping.
get proper snow tires...much better than all season for snowy and icy conditions. the all terrain tires are made for trucks and pickups.Quote:

Great traction in snow and rain, plus handling is nice, and no hydro-planing. I had them on my Ford Contour.

Michelin LTX M/S. That is all I have ever put on my AWD Safari vans over the years. And I pull a snowmobile trailer up into Michigan snow country. They are great year around tires.
If you can afford it, by all means install Bridgstone Blizzaks. They are really great in the winter months. Check Tire Rack's feedback info these.

We like the Kelly Navigator Gold tires for all weather on our Mazda 6 (about the same size as an Accord). They have good traction excellent wear and they are quiet on the road. I've had them on two different cars now and really like them. We replaced Michelin tires on our current car with them. The Michelins were terrible in snow and on open grate bridges.
Try a set of Cooper CS4 all season tires, great tire for the money and excellent in snow.

Amazing what a new set of tires does to your ride!
Thank you everyone for taking the time to reply with suggestions - it really helped!
