Snow and Ice Tires and Rims by roaddog2

Anyone buy winter snow and ice tires and rims on their 2006 Civic EX from COSTCO?
 
I went to COSTCO looking for Mich. Ice-x on steel rims and was told the bolt spacing had been modified for 2006 and the don't stock. The deal is I'm not worried about putting 205/16's on if I can get away with 195/15 which is quite kosher as the diameters are the same. The diffrence is the 15's are a lot less money. Also COSTCO fills with Nitrogen for the money.

2007 Civic LX Sedan Tires by robert8

I just purchased a 2007 Civic LX Sedan and have a quick question on the rear tires. I noticed while looking at the rear tires it looks like they are at an odd angle, like there pointing in. I'm sure it just looks that way with the wheel well body angle but it makes me curious. There are no steering, handling problems, car is brand new. Stopped and looked at another Civic, looked the same. It's probably my eyes playing tricks on me. Does anyone see the same thing or am I going crazy. Thanks, luv the Civic.

Our Mazda 3s Does This Also by sandman46

Brought it into the dealer and they said all is fine with the car. They were probaly right because the treads all wore evenly on all 4 tires that I swapped out today. I rotate every 5k miles and try to keep 32 lbs. all around.
Just walked out to the garage and looked at my '06 Civic LX and the rear tires do the same thing also! Intersting actually, both our cars and now yours. Anyone else care to weigh in on this?

I have a question for anyone who can help. I am looking at after market wheels for my Civic and can't decide whether to go with 17s or 18s... Does anyone have an '06 or '07 with after market wheels? Pics?

Independent Rear Suspension. The wheels will pitch independently based on weight in the car... Ask a couple friends to sit in the back seat and look at the rear wheels form the outside. You'll see what I mean...

2007 Honda Civic Shaky at 80+ mph by smnason

I just bought a 2007 Civic and noticed that right around 80 mph either the engine or the wheels begin to shake a bit. I can definitely feel the shaking when holding onto the steering wheel, and my wife says she notices it in the passenger seat as well. I can't tell, though, whether it is something with the engine or the wheels. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, what did you do?
 
Thanks for your help.

yea it aint a prob .. im guesisn this was on the highway .. its cuz the Civics front wheel drive and the tires got good grip .. and since some parts of the highway are new or is weatherd abit ..the car tends to shake abit.. but its nothing to worry bout .. i've hit like +100 a few times .. and the shakein really isnt a issue ..

The most common cause for this kind of vibration at high speed is mis-balanced wheels. That is what I would check first if I were you. If a proper re-balancing doesn't fix the problem, it could be a bad tire.

I figured the problem is wheel related. I just don't think it is normal for a brand new car to shake like mine does at only 80mph. I traded my old 96 Jetta in for the Civic and I never felt the Jetta shake like the Civic does. I guess I'll have to take it in.
 
Thanks.

Not that uncommon really. And it's likely Honda doesn't test every new Civic at 80 mph at the factory.
