| 2006 | TIRES:TREAD/BELT | I BOUGHT A NEW 2006 HONDA CIVIC EX AND TOOK DELIVERY IN JULY 2006. FROM THE TIME OF DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE, IT WAS NOTICEABLE THAT THE REAR END OR REAR TIRES OF THE HONDA CIVIC WERE VERY NOISY. I ROTATED MY TIRES AT EACH FACTORY RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE. AT 30K MILES, THEY WERE WORN OUT. MY SERVICE PERSON SHOWED ME THE UNEVEN WEAR (FLAT SPOTS). THE ROAD NOISE IS UNBEARABLE. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM ACURA - A DIVISION OF HONDA. THE SERVICE BULLETIN 05-076 DATED JANUARY 19, 2007 STATED THAT THE ACURA 2004 & 2005 HAD AN ISSUE WITH "PREMATURE REAR TIRE WEAR". THE PROBLEM WAS DESCRIBED AS: "THE REAR TIRES ARE WEARING PREMATURELY (UNEVENLY ACROSS THE TREAD). PROBABLE CAUSE: THE REAR TOE INCREASES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS LOADED" THE DESCRIPTION AND PICTURES OF TIRE WEAR IN THIS SERVICE BULLETIN EXACTLY MATCH WHAT I FOUND IN MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. I FREQUENTLY CHECK THE AIR TIRE PRESSURE TO ENSURE EVEN WEAR. THERE ARE MULTIPLE INTERNET POSTINGS NOTING AN ISSUE WITH THE CAMBER/TOE ADJUSTMENTS. I BELIEVE SUCH PREMATURE WEAR CONSTITUTES A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD. HONDA SHOULD DO THE "RIGHT THING" AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. PUTTING ON NEW TIRES WILL YIELD THE SAME RESULTS WITHOUT SOME CORRECTION. *TR |
