watsup everyone, i have a problem, i have an 06 civic ex coupe, it has 25,000 miles on it. my question is that i have bald spot on my rear tires, and when i bought it in the dealer they told me that i didnt rotate my tires, i been driving for the longest time now and i never had that happened to me be4? cuz the dealer told me that its not under the warrantee of honda, so do u think that the manufacture is goin to replace it? help!

well, it shouldn't have much, if anything to do with tire rotation. i'd call the tire manufacturer and see if they'll warranty them. sounds like some kinda defect, unless you make a habit of yanking on the ebrake to "drift".

lazyazz_azn

thats what the dealer asked me too...i don't i babied my car. but do u think that the manufacture will replace them

there's a good possibility that they'll be warrantied. however, most tire warranties are pro-rated. if they're 30000m tires, you'll get like 17% of the retail cost back. if they're 50000m tires, you'll get 50%. and if they're performance tires, without a mileage warranty, well, then you're screwed.

where do i take it to....can i take it to Sears, or do i have to take it to a tire place

i'd call/email the manufacturer of the tires, to start.

i just got off the phone with the tire dealer earlier today and they told me that the tires don't have miles warrentee on em cuz i bought the car new....wtf! thats a bunch of bulls! the only way that i can get warrantee on tires if i ( myself) bought em! i have an 2006 galaxy grey coupe with only 26,450 on it and i have to replace em already! hey guys i need help, anyone here have the same problem with there tires like me, and what did they do for u. i am probably go buy new one so that i can have warrantee on it. what do u think?

did u keep them balanced/rotated/aligned?? Cause if so, then call the place where u got it done (they have u on record) so then u can give the stealership proof that u kept them b/r/a.

Also so i got this right, you bought the car from the stealership when it was brand new? then at the 25k mark u started noticing the spots? You babied the car?

Also what tires are they?

lazyazz_azn

yeah i keep it b/a/r every 3k mile and yes i babied it....it high mileage cuz i live in toledo and go to cleveland to see my kids....i went to the dealer and told me that its not under honda tire warrantee but i maybe under the manufacture warrantee, they told me that it could be manufacture defect, but when i called them up they told me that there isn't mileage warrantee cuz it new i have an 2006 civic coupe ex bridgestone turanza el400

call american honda customer service at 800.999.1009. you'd be amazed how much free stuff you can get just by bitching at them for 30 minutes or so.

lazyazz_azn

if u have bald spost on the tires in just certain spots then its probable that u have not rotated the tires enough, or that ur rear shocks are blown already, ur not dropped are u?? if so, it could be that its too stiff and u need to rotate more, i work with tires on a daily basis, and 99% of the time its because of lack of rotation, and there wont be a warranty on the tires, most manufacturers wont warranty problems such as this, where i work wont, it voids the warranty

cooper tires told me that my car doesn't have enough downforce on the rear so when i hit a bump it goes up but when it comes down he told me that when it comes down it glides cuz of not enough weight?

so anybody haven problem with those tires?

I'm having a problem with my 06 Honda Ex as well. Tires rotated each time the car's maint. computer requested it. Bad shake in the steering wheel at higher speeds. I found this link.
