    Purchased 4 goodyear viva 2 tires, from walmart on 10/27/2014, for the first few months they were great. After awhile i kept needing to get them rebalanced due to vibrating, they started getting louder and louder. Had to keep getting my car aligned every other month. Today on 10/22/2015, driving straight on cruise control at 70mph on interstate 376, i started hearing this awful noise, i thought it was a wheel…

    With my seven year old car i have gone through numerous tires. Always replacing them due to the alignment on my car which i have been told is nothing that can be fixed. This is way beyond costly and i don't think that we should have to keep paying for honda's mistakes. I will just be driving down the road then randomly my tires will blow out. Something needs to be done about this. *tr

    I purchased the car in august 2010. Per the honda service bulletin issued feb 2008 (which i was unaware of til the problem), i have had a mechanic confirm my complaints/problem--uneven/rapid rear tire wear, a very loud roaring noise from the rear, and vibration at highway speed--meaning i have a faulty rear upper control arm kit. I have called honda and they said since it's not a "recall" they will not replace this.…

The last flat occurred on the highway, at 70 miles per hour, (thank god, there wasn't a major accident!)and when we went to repair or replace it we were informed that another tire, was extremely bald with no tread except on the outside, which made it difficult for anyone to notice.

    2006 honda civic handles terrible in any weather conditions. I have approximately 60,000 miles on my vehicle and have just purchased my fouth set of tires. Honda had a service bulletin to fix upper control arms on the rear end. Which was nearly impossable to discover, and most honda owners probably are not aware of this. However even after i had this part fixed my tires have still worn out as quickly and unevenly as…

    I own a 2006 honda civic. The winter of 2007-2008 the car would fishtail almost uncontrollably on snow and ice - not a snow or ice storm necessarily, but really whenever there was snow cover or ice on the roads. We changed tires - twice. The winter of 2008-2009, we were still having the same problem. This time, the dealership suggested an alignment. We had that done, but the tech's who did the alignment would not…

    Honda usa issued a technical service bulletins regarding the excessive tire wear due to defective or poorly designed rear camber arms tsb08-001.

This has happened on my vehicle at 21,000 and then again at 52,000 miles. Unusual tire wear can lead to tire blowouts. The dealership has replaced the upper control arm and replaced the tires, however, even after a 4 wheel alignment at 41,000, the "cupping" is still…
