My advice
Put air in em. Running flat tires in Baja could be a big prob.
Or just carry a regular spare tire.

A "How To" Guide to be PAX free
I am now PAX free. I did it. Tire Rack would not do it for me. Honda would not do it for me. I had to do it. And I did. Here's how:
I bought 4 TPMS sensors at www.hondrparts.com from Tim Gates. Part # 06421-S3V-A04, for $35.82 each. I bought a small wheel for the spare tire (one of the donut spares like
they use on the EX), part # 42700-SHJ-A51 for $43.92.
I then went to www.Tirerack.com , and bought a spare tire to go on the donut rim: Size T135/80MD-17 Goodyear Spare, for $108. I also bought AT Italia S5 wheels,
size 17X7.5 for $99 each. I also bought Kumho Solus KH16 tires, size 235/60TR17 for $75 each.
These tires came mounted and balanced on the wheels. I took them to a local tire center, who dismounted the tires installed the TPMS sensors,
remounted and balanced the wheels. They also mounted my donut spare tire on the rim and placed it in the van where the Lazy Susan used to be. It fit
perfectly. The tire shop only charged me $30.00. I got lucky there.
The instructions for installation of the TPMS sensors is at https://hondacuraworld.hostasaurus....uminumwheel.pdf
So I am done and all works well. I am free of PAX.
I will be selling my 4 PAX wheels and my Lazy Susan. Any takers?

pac side go to a tire and wheel shop and get a set of rims and tires and a spare and use them only on mexico trips and your pax tires in the
states don'tget used tires as they have to be re installed on the same side they came off of , then you will have the best of both worlds or sell
the pax tires lots of hondas out there , and drive carefull down hwy 1

I look up these kinds of things for fun, to be helpful, for the challenge - and because i then get to put off doing other things I really ought to
do.

For the PAX primer. I didn't realize the system was non-integratable What a pain. The air-pressure monitoring is a nice feature. How sensitive be
it?

Just buy the tires and wheels and keep the car unless you plan on buying a car anyway
