Tires
performance capabilities of the
car and provide the best
combination of handling, ride
comfort, and long life. You
should replace them with radial
tires of the same size, load range,
and speed rating. Mixing radial
and bias-ply or bias-belted tires
on your car can reduce its
braking ability, traction, and
steering accuracy.
Installing improper tires on your
car can affect handling and
stability. This can cause a crash
in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of
tires recommended in this
owner's manual.
Maintenance
It is best to replace all four tires
at the same time. If that is not
possible or necessary, then
replace the two front tires or the
two rear tires as a pair. Replacing
just one tire can seriously affect
your car's handling.
The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. When
replacing tires, use the same size
originally supplied with the car.
Tire size and construction can
affect wheel speed and may
cause the system to work
inconsistently.
If you ever need to replace a
wheel, make sure the wheel's
specifications match those of the
original wheel that came on your
car. Replacement wheels are
available at your Honda dealer.
