#231 of 300 2005 CR-V OEM tires by vickadi Sep 18, 2008 (9:18 am)
The tire tread of my 2005 CRV is 2 of 32 now at 29k miles. I live in south east area and usually drive in city and interstate. Is 29k a very typical life expectancy for the oem tires? Do I have to replace my tires right away or can I wait another 2 or 3k miles? Thanks! Replies to this message: tidester (Sep 18, 2008 9:20 am) plim77 (Sep 18, 2008 11:34 am)

Replying to: vickadi (Sep 18, 2008 9:18 am) I'd say you're overdue on replacing the tires.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

#235 of 300 Replacement Tires for '05 CR-V: Michelin vs. Goodyear? by elginapples Oct 23, 2008 (7:43 am)
My OEM tires have 30K on them and are showing signs of age and wear. And the ride on the Duellers is a bit hard and noisy. I am looking for new tires that are quieter and more comfortable. I am trying to decide between the following"    Goodyear Assurance ComforTred, and    Michelin X-Radial (= Harmony) from Costco.   The total Costco package is certainly less expensive than the Goodyear store. Spread out over 80,000 (or even 50,000) miles, the price difference is relatively insignificant.   Do you have any advice or experience regarding these 2 tires? Please advise? Thanks.

Replying to: elginapples (Oct 23, 2008 7:43 am) It all depends on whether you value ride comfort or inclement weather (rain and/or snow) performance as your first priority. According to TireRack (www.tirerack.com) the ComfortTred tires have better ride comfort and road noise scores over the Harmony tires, but worse traction scores. Another tire I would throw into the pot is the Goodyear Assurance TripleTred. My wife loved hers when we had a 98 Accord Coupe and she is determined to buy them again when the OEM Continentals age on her new 2008 CR-V EX-L. She greatly values the traction they give her in all the 4-season weather conditions we get in Missouri.

Replying to: elginapples (Oct 23, 2008 7:43 am) I went with the comfortred on my 06 and think they work great and road noise is a lot less than with the duellers. Also living in Minnesota I was concerned about the handling in the snow but the do better than any tire I have had on any of my cars or trucks. I would just replace the tires ASAP. Ever since I switched I regretted not doing it sooner if not right when I bought the car.
#238 of 300 TPMS by cxvargas Oct 25, 2008 (5:16 am)
Since I bought my 08 CRV I stopped checking the tire pressure on a weekly basis like I used to due to having the TPMS. Yesterday I put some air and my tires were reading 20 psi. My first question was why the TPMS light never alerted me off such low pressure? Second, I learned of the false sense of security and trust I placed on this machine that I stopped doing something that only takes a few minutes per week and could save my life and increase the life of my tires. Well, with the Bridgestone tires I don't want to increase their life since they are noisy and hard. Can any of you explain how is the TPMS is supposed to work on the CRV. Could the system be malfunctioning? With 10 miles I'm still waiting for the oil to read 10% to take it to the dealer for tire rotation, oil change and ask about the TPMS. Please advice.

Replying to: cxvargas (Oct 25, 2008 5:16 am) Unlike Toyota, Honda doesn't seem to provide a method to reset TPMS when it isn't working. And just what Honda means by "significantly" under inflated isn't defined. 20 psi is under inflated to me. Yep, your system is malfunctioning. At least, the system needs to be reset.   And, of course, Honda recommends monthly pressure checks anyway, which makes the system useful (if working properly) only as an early warning of a leak.   To be fair, TPMS is a new mandate. It's reliability will improve with time. Until then, all your comments about how little time it takes to check tire pressure should be in printed in bold type in every owner's manual.

Replying to: lzc (Oct 26, 2008 5:22 am) to check tire pressure should be in printed in bold type in every owner's manual   Even if it were the only sentence in the OWNER's MANUAL it wouldn't do any good since majority of people don't even open the OWNER's MANUAL. There are just way too many people who "already know everything and don't need to read no stincking manual"
