My wife just called. She says our 2012 Odyssey with 46k miles just started making a noise that sounds like de di de di de di do, so she pulled into a parking lot. She tells me she looked at the tires and they look fine. I'm off. In the mean time, any guesses what it could be? ![]() | ||

Any CEL? If she's remotely handy, have her lift the hood to ensure there are no obvious, immediate issues (blown hydraulic hose, torn accessory belt, etc). Chances are it's important to repair but not causing catastrophic harm. That Honda V6 is pretty bullet proof. P229 | |||

Our 2012 makes a popping noise sometimes when turning. I was told there’s a service bulletin about greasing some part in the front end, maybe a spring (can’t remember exactly). | |||

I found my wife in the local Rooms-to-Go parking lot, walked around the car and then asked "Honey, I thought you said the tires looked ok?" To which she replies, "Well they didn't look flat." She then walks around to the passenger side where I'm standing and I say "I think I've found the problem." She asks. "How did you find it so fast?" FACE PALM: ![]() | |||

Wow!!! But think about it, would you rather have to fix/replace the tire or fix/replace engine/transmission? Best Wishes! ...let him who has no sword sell his robe and buy one.

That tire will obviously have to replaced (no chance of repair), and if the others are that far worn down, really, it's time for four new ones. | |||

Even if the tires were run flats, I don't think that would've helped in this case ![]() Regards, Will G. | |||

Ya, they aren't down to the wear bars yet, but they're close and worn evenly across the tread. Since they have less than 15,000 miles on them, I'm going to have to deal with the treadwear warranty.
That's good advice. I was going to get one for my daughter for Christmas. There is literally a hamster cage in the back that my wife had just purchased. Hopefully, the tire monkeys at Sam's Club can grab one for me when they fix it. | |||

I figured three plugs. When I pulled it out I found the part that penetrated the tire was only 3/16. As egregore pointed out "At least she had the good sense to not keep driving." And even if I wind up replacing all the tires, I'm thankful it was something simple that I can laugh about. ![]() | |||

Some years back my girlfriend got a flat about 2 blocks from home, decided to bring it to me to change the tire, but there was almost no tire to replace by the time she got there. Luckily, no rim damage. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||
