I have a 2007 Honda pilot with original equipment tires. They are bridgestone dueler h/t 684. I have 11,700 miles on the vehicle. I was riding today in a light to moderate rain and hydroplaned across the lane after running through some standing water. The tires are worn to the point that they are not safe to drive. *tr

What stands out
Among the 8 model years of Honda Pilot in our records for tires problems, this one ranks #2 by owner-complaint volume.
No new NHTSA tires complaint has been filed on this vehicle in over 18 years — the issue may be aging out of the active population.
The failure pattern owners describe
Buyer takeaway: The 2007 Pilot came with problematic Goodyear Integrity or Bridgestone Dueler tires that owners report slip badly in wet weather and fail early; TPMS sensors also fail repeatedly. If buying used, plan to replace the OEM tires immediately and verify TPMS function, or budget for sensor replacement.
Owners of 2007 Pilots report persistent tire problems across multiple OEM brands. The Goodyear Integrity tires are the most common complaint: they slip during wet-weather braking and acceleration despite proper inflation, causing hydroplaning and loss of control. Multiple owners say they slip 90% of the time in rain, even at low speed, and one owner noted ABS activation during dry-road emergency braking. Several Integrity tires blew out between 6,800 and 29,000 miles—some within two weeks of delivery—though inspections days before showed no defect. One owner received a pre-delivery patched tire without disclosure. Goodyear denied replacement claims citing a leak. A Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 wore so fast that at 11,700 miles it hydroplaned in light rain.
A separate issue involves TPMS sensor failures: one owner replaced six sensors and was told at 52,000 miles the dealer had no fix and the vehicle was out of warranty. The light staying on constantly made it impossible to know if a real pressure problem existed.
One owner also reported a spare tire falling off while driving due to a frayed cable. Michelin PAX run-flats, fitted to some early 2007 models, require dealership service only—no independent shops stock the equipment—making remote travel risky.
Failure modes owners describe
Goodyear Integrity OEM tires — wet weather traction loss
Goodyear Integrity tires (size P235/70/R16 and 175/70R13) slip in wet conditions during acceleration and hard braking, causing hydroplaning and loss of vehicle control. Owners attribute the problem to the tire being car-rated rather than SUV-rated for the Pilot's weight.
When: 6,853 miles; within first year of ownership; ongoing since purchase date 5/25/2007
Symptoms owners cite: Tires slip 90% of the time in wet weather during stops and starts; Vehicle hydroplanes on wet roads with standing water; ABS brake activation during sudden braking on dry road; Loss of control during right turns in rain; Poor responsiveness during emergency braking
Repairs/costs cited: Owners replaced with Michelin tires; braking improved immediately. Dealer stated slipping condition was normal for the vehicle.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Goodyear sent disclaimer stating tire had a leak; Goodyear did not replace tire despite Honda dealer promise. Honda dealer refused to replace tires under warranty.
Goodyear Integrity OEM tires — early blowouts and flat tires
Multiple blowouts and flat tires on Goodyear Integrity tires within first 1,000 miles or at low mileage (under 30,000 miles), despite proper inflation, no overloading, and recent inspection. One tire had been pre-delivery patched.
When: Within 1,000 miles of delivery; 6,853 miles; 14,000 miles; 29,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Tire blowout while driving at 45 mph; Tire blowout on rocky road at slow speed; Tire burst on sidewall; Multiple flat tires within two weeks of delivery (three of four tires); Leaking valve causing flat tire
Codes mentioned: DOT# 4808 B3WR 4906
Repairs/costs cited: Blowout damaged stabilizer and shock absorber. Repair cost approximately $140–$150 per tire replacement. Three tires required replacement within first 1,000 miles.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Goodyear claimed tire had a leak; Goodyear refused replacement despite Honda dealer recommendation. Honda advised new rims and tires would be needed but declined assistance.
Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 OEM tires — accelerated wear and hydroplaning
Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 tires wore prematurely and became unsafe for wet driving at only 11,700 miles, with owner reporting hydroplaning in light to moderate rain.
When: 11,700 miles
Symptoms owners cite: Accelerated tread wear; Hydroplaning in light to moderate rain; Tires unsafe to drive
Michelin PAX run-flat tires — service availability and cost
Michelin PAX run-flat tires require specialized equipment only available at Honda dealerships, not at independent tire shops. Flat tire repair cost $150. Owner states she cannot travel to remote locations and fears for family safety due to service accessibility constraints.
When: Shortly after purchase
Symptoms owners cite: Flat tire requiring $150 repair; No independent repair shops equipped or willing to service PAX tires; Dealership-only service with multi-day wait times
Repairs/costs cited: Flat tire repair cost $150. Replacement tires and rims required; Honda declined to help with replacement.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Michelin offered to send replacement tire and pay accommodations in remote locations. Honda stated new rims and tires needed but declined assistance.
Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor failures
Repeated TPMS sensor failures with six replacements reported by one owner. Dealer stated no fix exists and vehicle is out of warranty at 52,000 miles. Sensor remains active constantly, preventing owner from knowing if a genuine tire pressure issue exists.
When: Multiple replacements over vehicle ownership; issue recurred at 52,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: TPMS warning light remains on constantly; Unable to determine if genuine pressure problem exists; Sensor malfunction repeats after replacement
Repairs/costs cited: Six sensors replaced; dealer stated no permanent fix available and vehicle out of warranty.
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Dealer stated they have no fix for the problem; vehicle out of warranty at 52,000 miles.
