Tires
TREAD WEAR
INDICATORS
Your car's tires have wear indicators
molded into the tread. When the
tread wears down to that point, you
will see a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) wide
band running across the tread. This
shows there is less than 1.6 mm (1/
16 inch) of tread left on the tire. A
tire that is this worn gives very little
traction on wet roads. You should
replace the tire if you can see the
tread wear indicator in three or more
places around the tire.

correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tire wear. You should get
your car's wheel alignment checked
every 12 months or 24,000 km
(15,000 miles).
The tires were properly balanced by
the factory. They may need to be
rebalanced at some time before they
are worn out. Have your dealer
check the tires if you feel a consis-
tent vibration while driving. A tire
should always be rebalanced if it is
removed from the wheel.
Make sure the installer balances the
wheels when you have new tires
installed. This increases riding
comfort and tire life.
NOTICE
U.S. EX and Canadian EX-R models
Improper wheel weights can damage
your car's aluminum wheels. Use
only genuine Honda wheel weights
for balancing.
Tire Rotation
Front
To help increase tire life and
distribute wear more evenly, you
should have the tires rotated every
12,000 km (7,500 miles). Move the
tires to the positions shown in the
chart each time they are rotated.
