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

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

Thanks for help. tire rack says caliper is cleared by 17 inch wheel. i priced the 18's blizzacks and its 40 dollars more per tire. im gonna stick w 17 s at this point .
thanks again
