#6 of 239 Re: Tire Replacement [kero1] by targettuning Jul 20, 2006 (3:24 am)
Replying to: kero1 (Jul 19, 2006 4:42 pm) I beg to differ on the need to replace 1 tire only with 2... or as you state in pairs. If the damaged one is nearly new and, as in this case, suffered a puncture that the owner feels uncomfortable driving on then only the offending tire needs replaced. If you replace it with the same brand and model tire as the rest and the other 3 have low miles, even wear and good tread there is no technical need to replace in pairs. If the others have 40K miles then replace all 4... Replies to this message: mcap (Jul 20, 2006 6:25 am) kero1 (Jul 20, 2006 5:12 pm) goofycat (Jul 24, 2006 6:11 am)

Replying to: targettuning (Jul 20, 2006 3:24 am) Thanks all for your responses. I agree with both of you actually. I am going to replace just the one with the original. I know it's not a great tire and it isn't cheap either. But I really just use my car to get around and I get a lot of flats in Brooklyn. So, I don't want to replace it with 4 high end tires that are just going to puncture anyway.   It was the rear tire and the car only has 6 k miles. So, it should be fine. I will look at the tire rack however, for when I need more or when it's time to replace. Thanks for the advice!!!!!! I really appreciate it.   Marc

Replying to: kero1 (Jul 20, 2006 5:12 pm) Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com) has a great forum on most tires. I bought a Honda Element 6 months ago and found that the original tires were terrible...hard riding, noisy and lacking grip. I replaced them with ones I found on tirerack and found that the new tires were far better than the originals. I was surprised that the cost quoted by Tire Rack for the new ones was not much more than the originals, and questioned in my mind why Honda put such junky tires on my Element. Maybe they got a good deal from the manufacturer. Anyway, before I buy a new car, I will check the history of bad experiences by owners' forum on Tire Rack and demand of the dealer that they change to the tires of my choice. They might say "NO," but I will never know unless I try to negotiate the change. BTW, I have never had any problems with Bridgestones, but tire features and quality can vary with the same manufacturer. Michelins are known for being able to be balanced, etc., but I will still check with Tire Rack first.
#10 of 239 Changing wheels on 97 Civic by fullup Aug 20, 2006 (6:25 pm)
I just bought a 97 civic ES. It came w/ cheap hubcaps and small tires. I don't want to modify the car at all in any way that will negatively affect safety, braking, etc. I also don't want low profiles that make a pothole an expensive proposition. I just want to replace the cheap hubcaps w/ a nicer looking wheel (maybe pulls from another honda), and I want to put the largest tire on the wheel that it's rated for. Any ideas what the factory recommended range of tire sizes is, and what type/size wheels would be nice? Also, what year model pulls would work on a 97?
#11 of 239 Snow and Ice Tires and Rims by roaddog2 Oct 25, 2006 (5:27 pm)
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.
#12 of 239 2007 Civic LX Sedan Tires by robert8 Dec 03, 2006 (6:09 pm)
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.

#13 of 239 Our Mazda 3s Does This Also by sandman46 Dec 03, 2006 (6:17 pm)
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?   The Sandman
#14 of 239 Civic after market wheels by karkook Dec 26, 2006 (3:29 pm)
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?

Replying to: robert8 (Dec 03, 2006 6:09 pm) 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...
