I own a 2009 honda civic lx-s. It now has 32,000 miles on it and the rear tires are completely bald. I did some online research and found this seems to be a common problem with honda civic's.

Premature wear of rear tires. Rotated ties after 20k miles and noted significant road noise coming from the tires now mounted in the front. Dealer indicated the cause was irregular tire wear caused 'cupping' of the tires when they were mounted in the back. I experienced even worse tire wear with my 2006 honda civic.

Purchased car dec 18/2009 upon driving it home noticed that there was a vibration.

Busy life continued to drive in the spring assuming that maybe the vibration was due to the mud on the country roads. June 10/10 . Had the wheels balanced at 5505 km because of the vibration. At 9842…

2008 civic coupe lx with bridgestone el 400 tires began shaking and vibrating at 13,000 miles. Regular maintenance and tire rotations are on record, yet zimmerman honda in rock island, il claims that the uneven tire wear and subsequent second set of tires to be replaced are my fault and will be at my expense. I did a little research and discovered that the '06 and '07 civics have a service bulletin for the "c" arm…

On my 2009 honda civic that is only five months old right around 20,000 miles i noticed a vibration in the rear end. This vibration got worse quickly. At 20,560 i had the tires looked at and both tires have good tread left but have excessive cupping in a diagonal pattern the same as the 06/07 tsb. I took the car to the dealer i bought the car from. The service dept stated that there was no tsb or recall and that…
