I think the WRG2 is the updated version of the WR (latest and greatest)..
 
What I like about them with the CR-V, is not only did I get wintertire-like snow traction, they were better handling dry-road tires than any of the crappy OEM tires that Honda uses.... In the size my CR-V used (205/70-15), they were H-Rated, vs the S-rated tires that came on it..
 
It was a win-win... except for the price..... shewwww (still, worth it).

The 245/70 Kumho Road Ventures make the '08 handle like a Corvette. (The tire mechanic worried a little about the fit but no problem at all.)
 
The steering is already phenomenal but I've got to thank Honda for the worst tires ever that made the transition to real rubber an epiphany of great chassis response!

#6722 of 6928 Drive Belt Replacement? by fussycrvowner

May 19, 2011 (5:59 am)

How hard is it to replace a drive belt on an '02 CRV, 4WD? From what I've read it also involves removing a splash shield of some sort? Have 84K miles and think it's time. Plan to replace the tensioner pulley also since it is starting to wear groves in it. Any suggestions?

I know it's long after the original post. I found the source of the noise while replacing the rear brakes. The backing plate has started to rust through and is rubbing on the discs when making sharp turns. I guess I'll wait until it becomes a problem.

Hmmm...can't you bend it out of the way a little bit?

Good point. The issue arises because there is some sort of a raised ridge around the section where the parking brake assembly sits. Some sort of a way to seal it off? I tried to sand it a bit but am afraid to bend it for fear of it breaking off. That's where the rust holes are.

Yeah I can't see it so I hesitate to advise you on a jury-rig here.

#6727 of 6928 Screeching Door Locks by cannell3

My daughter's 2007 Cr-v has screeching door locks. When she starts off and the automatic door locks activate, there is a noticeable "screech". Is anyone out there familiar with this problem? Thank you.

Didn't see any TSBs on this issue. You'll probably have to pop off the door panel or panels and see what is interfering in there--some metal to metal contact perhaps.

I did this on my 99, or at least my mechanic did. You are going to replace the water pump too since the engine will be half torn down anyway. I paid less than anyone I could think of who is not a mechanic. My mechanic charges $30/hr8=$240 and I got the parts with employee discount approx. $500
 
LMK how you made out,
Lou
