#128 of 239 Re: Civic 2007 LX [cj7375] by shipo Dec 02, 2007 (5:42 pm)
Replying to: cj7375 (Dec 02, 2007 3:41 pm) Hehe, my Mother-In-Law is a serious nervous Nelly in foul weather if there ever was one, and so I put the X-Ice tires on her 2002 Celica. She was so stunned at the difference it made in her car that she became as bold as brass, offering to go out to run an errand in even the worst weather we have up here in New Hamster.   Best Regards, Shipo
#129 of 239 Will 07 EX 16" 5 Spoke wheels accept 08 TPMS sensors by lore1 Dec 06, 2007 (9:43 am)
I have a chance to purchase some new 07 EX wheels, I can't find out if the TPMS sensors for the 08's will fit on the 07 wheels. I received different feedback from 2 dealers. One said they would have to try it, the other said, no, 2 totally different systems.   Thanks In Advance Replies to this message: shipo (Dec 06, 2007 10:03 am) jet10000 (Dec 06, 2007 10:57 am)

Replying to: lore1 (Dec 06, 2007 9:43 am) I wouldn't bet on it. I've seen other listings for Honda wheels and they specifically call out when they can accept the sensors (or if they already have them fitted). I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's probably unlikely.   Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: lore1 (Dec 06, 2007 9:43 am) I'm pretty sure they won't. Honda even redesigned their upgraded wheel packages to work with TPMS. If you go to this link at College Hills Honda you can see they have wheels upgrade for 06-07 and separate ones for 2008 due to TPMS.   http://www.collegehillshonda.com/honda_civic_4dr_accessories/06_08_civic_wheels.- htm
#132 of 239 Re: 2007 Honda Civic Lx Tire Wear [jrcrowe] by jsmid Dec 08, 2007 (6:49 pm)
Replying to: jrcrowe (Nov 17, 2007 3:00 pm) I just joined this forum because I was looking to find if other Civic owners had a similar issue to mine. At 17000KM my Canadaian owned Civic has two rear tires with the inside edges scrubbed off, cupped and very noisy at any speed. A visit to the dealer (Sterling Honda, Hamilton Ontario) showed a:) no-one seems to warrantee OEM tires BUT b:)Honda Canada has issued a TSB concerning this problem on 26 November 2007. TSB # VIII-10-07 addresses "Uneven or Rapid Rear Tire Wear" in vehicles frequently driven with "significant" (their word) weight...etc. In short it calls for replacement of the rear upper control arms with new "special" (again, their word) control arms, realignment, and $$$ reimbursement for tire wear. Now lies the rub, reimbursement is dased on normal and abnormal tire wear. Honda's procedure is to measure tread depth in 32nds at the centre of the tire (NOT the worn inside edge!!!!!!!) and base tread wear on that. Therefore, even though my rear tires are scrap Honda will do nothing since the wear at the centre of the tire is "normal". I have no idea why Honda is saying good bye to my family's future car purchases (at least 3 in the next two years) and service on this car to save thenselves less than $200. BTW I had the tires (er donuts) balanced at tarhe deakler at 11000KM for $73.00 +taxes easily 3 times what my tire shop charges and even then they mentioned nothing of the wear. John

#134 of 239 4 Wheel Alignment by sandman46 Dec 09, 2007 (3:12 pm)
The Civic calls for a 4 wheel alignment as I recall. I always buy a policy for this from a local tire store for both cars and get it done every 6 months or so. Been very lucky having this policy on the last 4 cars as none have ever had alignment issues, we just both seem to pick up nails & road debris too often. Usually they're patchable but I had to replace the rear Goodyears RS-A's on my Civic last moth as the nail punctured the tire just where the sidewall meets the tread so patching it was not doable. The only bad thing is now I've got new Fusion tires on the rear and the RS-A's on the front, I always prefer the 4 tires to match though. And the RS-A's still have some good tread on 'em. I'd definitely recommend regular 4 wheel alignments as preventative maintenance. This works for us.   The Sandman
#135 of 239 Need Price Help Fast! by rlm3 Dec 10, 2007 (11:01 pm)
Hi, newbie here. Purchase tomorrow 12/11 on shore in CT Civic autoLX 4dr, for $18,996 out the door with tax, reg, trns cost, and package of side guards/front/bk wheel flaps/fl matts. I hate dealerships, am I being taken for a ride I don't want to be on? Can't seem to find any specific prices for what I'm purchasing. Any really good advice to go in with on final closing? I can walk away, and get my deposit of $1000 back in seven days...rather that than make a huge mistake! In Edmonds specs, floor mats are standard, fwhy is dealership is included them in the 524.00 package I'm paying for when they are standard? Can they do that? ...I have a Civic EX 4dr 2004, 42,500miles, best and fastest way to sell myself...?. I'm robing peter to pay paul until other car, paid for is sold. Financing at 4.9% 5years, no penilty to pay early. Thank you in advance for any advice given!rlm3 Replies to this message: jet10000 (Dec 11, 2007 8:37 am)

Replying to: rlm3 (Dec 10, 2007 11:01 pm) rlm3   You should post this message on the Civic Prices Paid and Buying Experience forum. You'll get a much better response for that there.   You can find the dealer invoice price for the Civic LX auto on edmunds.com. You can see how much they're charging you over invoice.   Yes, the Civic comes standards with floormats. These may be upgraded floormats that come in the package. But point out in the brochure that floormats are standard and have them give you a credit if you don't want them in their $524 package.   Good luck.
#137 of 239 your price by flseadan Dec 11, 2007 (8:41 am)
I paid 17,400 a year ago for an lx sedan in Florida. Greatly depends where you live as far as price goes.......I paid a tad too much never the less....   You have a good price, but I would keep the car you have. A civic is a civic, save your money.
