2012 Question

Does a 2012 RL with CMBS and the ACC cruise automatically have the "PAX" runflats setup?

If so, is it even possible to get proper winter tires for a PAX-equipped car?

Nope. Honda dropped the PAX feature after 2008. The Michellin PAX tires were majorly problematic on the RL and Odyssey, and they gave up on the run-flat route.

Ahh. Didn't realize it was a short term "feature"

It was a dud. Some sets on Oddysey models were wearing out in some stupid low mileage range like 15k. There was a class action suit, and Michelin ditched the effort.
