Tires Tire Maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignment. Have your dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent vibration while driving. A tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel. When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This increases riding comfort and tire life. For best results, have the installer perform a dynamic balance. (Only on vehicles equipped with aluminum wheels) Tire Rotation Front Front Replacing Tires Replace your tires with radial tires of the same size, load range, speed rating, and maximum cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire's sidewall). Mixing radial and bias-ply tires on your vehicle can reduce braking ability, traction, and steering accuracy. Using tires of a different size or construction can cause the ABS to work inconsistently. It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that is not possible or necessary, then replace the two front tires or the rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle's handling. (For Non-directional (For Directional Tires and Wheels) Tires and Wheels) NOTICE: Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use only genuine Honda wheels weights f or balancing. To help increase tire life and distribute wear more evenly, rotate the tires every 10,000 miles (16,000 km). Move the tires to the positions shown in the chart each time they are rotated. If you purchase directional tires, rotate only front-toback. Maintenance 193
