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.

On vehicles with aluminum wheels,

improper wheel weights can damage

your vehicle's aluminum wheels. Use

only Honda wheel weights for

balancing.

Tire Rotation

To help increase tire life and

distribute wear more evenly, rotate

the tires according to the

maintenance messages displayed on

the information display. Move the

tires to the positions shown in the

illustration each time they are

rotated. If you purchase directional

tires, rotate only front-to-back.

When the tires are rotated, make

sure the air pressures are checked.

Replacing Tires and Wheels

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 and vehicle stability assist

system (VSA)

ꭧ

to work

inconsistently.

The ABS and VSA system

ꭧ

work by

comparing the speed of the wheels.

When replacing tires, use the same

size originally supplied with the

vehicle. Tire size and construction

can affect wheel speed and may

cause the system to activate.
