Anyone have any suggestions on the best tires to purchase for the 2011 Pilot?

Not sure what the best tire is for your vehicle but I have like our Firestone Destination LE's on our 04 Pilot. Great snow and rain traction. Perhaps a little louder but they have a nice aggressive tread to MAN up the Pilot some

Best tires for what? Do a search on the forums for the 100s of tire threads, I'm sure you'll find the info you'll need.

Michelin LTX M/S as equipped OEMs on the '09 - '11 touring models for all around use on 4WD Pilots in areas where traction is needed. Great ride, tread wear and wet/snow traction.

If you are in the sun belt or have 2 WD I'm not sure....

Check out tirerack.com for tire reviews. PS- I've had great luck with Kumho tires on my cars. Great tire for resonable price.

I personally don't like Michelin, overpriced and not great IMHO.

Shame we can't train the forum software to recognize any thread with 'best tire' and automatically answer the poster with links to threads.

Good Morning,

Can you mix tires example, example I had two blown-outs over 55K miles

Thinking of putting two Kumho in the front and the replaced Michelin in the rear.

I don't recommend mixing tires, you won't be able to rotate them correctly. Look for a deal buy 3 get one free. I see these all the time.
