Acura MDX Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Acura MDX rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Acura MDX reliability information based on owner experiences through December 31, 2009:

Acura MDX Repair Histories
To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Acura MDX repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.
Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:

Acura MDX Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Acura MDX tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Acura MDX--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
