Tires
Maintenance
In
addition to proper inflation,
correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tire wear.
If
you find a tire
is
worn unevenly, have your dealer
check the wheel alignment.
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 for repair.
188 Maintenance
Make sure the installer balances the
wheels when you have new tires
installed. This increases riding
comfort and tire life.
Your car's
original tires were dynamic or
"spin"
balanced at the factory. For best
results, have the installer perform a
dynamic balance.
NOTICE
Improper wheel weights can damage
your vehicle's aluminum wheels.
Use
only Genuine Honda wheel weights
for
balancing.
Tire Rotation
You should not rotate your Honda's
tires.
The
front and
rear
tires are
different sizes, so they cannot be
rotated front-to-rear.
The
original-
equipment tires on your Honda have
a unidirectional tread pattern, so
they cannot be rotated side-to-side.
Tire Wear
The
tires that came on your car were
designed and constructed to provide
superior grip during acceleration,
braking, and cornering. As a trade-
off, they
will
wear more rapidly than
tires used on ordinary passenger
cars. Because of the car's weight
distribution, and the fact that they
are the driving wheels, you may
expect the
rear
tires to wear more
rapidly than the front tires.
