I had to have all four tires replaced on my 2008 honda civic lx at 34,658 mi. July 2010. When i brought my civic in for its routine check up, which i do whenever i'm at 15% oil life, i complained of a roaring noise from my tires. The honda tech guy said my tires were badly worn and suggested i buy new tires immediately. Kuhmo tires, the brand i bought from honda, have a 60000 mi. Warranty. That same roaring noise is…

My '08 honda civic hybrid wears tires abnormally, leading to unsafe driving conditions, especially on wet or frosty surfaces. I have contacted honda yearly about this problem, having had to replace tires at intervals of approximately 15,000 miles. At this low mileage, my tires were bald in spots. Although honda has subsidized the cost of new tires, at 50%, they have not fixed the defect which continues to cause this…

Premature tire wearout - extreme shake, especially ay highway speeds. Dealer said nothing is wrong, even though they asked me if it was shaking/vibrating. Tires will not pass inspection & need to be replaced. (they were actually worn at 20k) car handles horrible in inclement weather. Based on other complaints, i expect this to be an issue every 20k until honda steps up and admits they have a rear suspension issue…

I have a 2008 honda civic coupe. After 15,000 miles the rear tires had to be replaced due to a loud rumbling noise that the mechanic said was separated belts. I have read other complaints on this issue and the outcome was honda pointing fingers at bridgestone and vice-versa. Do i have any recourse with the car company or tire manufacturer? *tr

Severe tire cupping, early tire failure. Dealer unable to fix cause of problem, they state that it results from a design flaw (non-adjustable cambers/arms). Tires failed at 20,000 miles and are failing again at 44,000 miles. I had to fight with honda to get them to go 50/50 on the first set of replaced (dunlop) tires. They argues that i had enjoyed using them for 1/2 their life, so 50% was their maximum dollar…

I have a 2008 honda civic lx 4 door and my rear tires are cupping and have flat spots. I do not drive hard and it seems there is a problem... This car is brand new and i am concerned. I keep my tires properly inflated and look at them often. I believe this may be a suspension issue. I think a recall is needed seeing that i have other friends with this issue as well. *tr

At about 15,000 miles, we had to replace the original 2 rear tires due to uneven wear. We replaced the tires and had to replace them again at 40,000. Now, at 60,000, the rear tires are unevenly wearing again so much so that the car is nearly undrivable on the highway due to the shaking. We've had the alignment and balance checked multiple times and nothing has been off and the tires have been rotated at every other…

Rear tires on new honda civic lx 2008 began thumping and shaking at 12000 miles and kept getting worse until 15k, so i took it to the dealer. Honda dealer said the "c" arms that corrected the problem with 2007 civics were installed in my car, and the problem may be because i did not have tires rotated. (?) they wanted $381 for tires and alignment with only 9 months and 15k miles of new car use. *tr
