There is excessive wear of rear tires on the civic. Tires are bald after less than 5,000 miles, while the front look brand new. Honda says no problem, but they need to address rear tire wear. Have had 4 wheel alignment and still the tires are bald after too few of miles. Makes no sense on a front wheel drive car. This car is dangerous. *tr
