Replying to: kathyc1 (Sep 10, 2008 8:02 am)  ), but the Taurus of old days is gone; this is basically a rebadged and much more powerful Ford Five Hundred.  Interestingly, a Taurus can be had for the price of a Civic! Speaking of the Civic...how about those 2006-2007 issues, eh?

Don't understand when someone says "they expect 50k miles from their tires". OEM tires won't be giving anyone 50k miles unless they're Michelin tires. I also had the tire problems with my 1st set and will be sending in copies of my receipts hoping for some kind of $ compensation but am not holding my breath on it. I've looked through my papers and can't find anything about the oem Goodyears lasting "50k" or being supposed to. Please let me know where to find the link to this and I'll send it to Honda along with my receipts. The Sandman

Yet I just bought a minivan with low-end OEM Goodyears on it, and they still have good tread on them at just over 50k miles, will probably last another 10k at least. Go figure.

"they expect 50k miles from their tires" That was me who said based on the last 5-6 sets of tires I have owned. I rotate every 6,000 miles and I have never needed a tired replaced before 50,000, not once. I always buy Goodyear and Kumho tires. So nothing to back this other then perception/expereince is reality. |

Doubt many oem tires will last 50k miles except some Michelins. They seem to be one of the best tire makers out there. The Sandman
