Link to parts list for wheel assembly.

Three parts are required for each TMPS unit...

1. sensor (item #006): 42753-T6N-E02
2. nut (item #007): 42754-TY2-A81
3. washer (item #008): 42755-TP6-A81

Order 4 each for a full set of wheels & tires.

BTW, batteries in sensors are not replaceable when dead.

Do not need #2 (nut) and #3 (washer). Should already be included as a kit with #1 (sensor kit).

On a sidenote, do we have to re-program the car when changing all 4 TPMS or if they will be automatically detected?

With the current generation of TPMS on the Passport, there is no need to re-program. It will recognize the new sensors after driving for a short distance. It makes life easier when swapping sensors or sets of wheel.

Now the big question is....is this service manager full of bung cause truth be told, he sounded kinda sharp?

The service manager is "confused", to put it nicely. See this thread on the Pilot forum. It was the case for prior generation of TPMS that Honda used. It was a "royal pain", despite the fact that I had a DIY device to reprogram my car. Life is good now... replace TPMS and drive.

My winter tires and wheels will be mounted on my Passport next month... still too warm here.

what kind of winter tires are u gonna use? thanks

I've already purchased and mounted the winter tires... Latitude X-Ice Xi2, size 245/60R18. This is the same size tires as for 18" wheels on Ridgeline and Pilot. Tire Rack lists a different 18" tire size (255/55R-18). Found a local tire shop that had competitive/better pricing than Tire Rack and no shipping cost.

Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 (245/60R-18) would have been my second choice. Blizzak may have better deep snow traction, but the Latitude should wear better in the long run (less road noise). Both have a directional tread pattern. Bridgestone has a rebate that expires on September 9th and Michelin has a rebate that expires on September 19th. Selection depends on your priorities.

Tires mounted with 18" Ridgeline wheels...

thanks. have u used them before? less noise is important to me, 20 down to 18 inch is better in snow im guessing lol,
thanks
ive read bad reviews on the oem conti's in general..they wear fast and not great in snow

I have not used these particular Michelin Latitude winter tires before. I currently have Michelin Alpin winters for another vehicle. I have had previous winter tires from Continental, Toyo, Bridgestone Blizzak. Between all the winter tires and summer tires, I prefer Michelin tires for overall performance and lower tire noise.

The 18" with lower profile (60 series vs 45 series) has a narrower tread... YES, better in the snow.

If tires are NOT directional, I would rotate left/right (reverse tire rotation) to even out tread block wear for less road noise.

i got prices on 17 inch, is there a reason to go to 18 inch...i think they are more money lol. tire rack quoted me $1423 w tpms sensore and wheels.
thanks

1. I know that 18" OEM wheels from current generation of Ridgeline and Pilot wheels will fit the Passport.
2. With OEM wheels, same wheel offset and no wheel centering ring required.
3. I like the used 18" Ridgeline wheels that I found, a killer price and excellent condition.
4. I do not know if 17" wheels will clear the front brake calipers. Others say yes?
5. 18" wheels ("-2") at 60-series will have wider tread width and less sidewall than 17" wheels. This translate to better road handling, sacrificing some handling in the snow.

Your price from Tire Rack for 17" wheels, tires and TPMS is about the same as my set for 18".
