I think my tires are dying already.... I have no idea why.

I dont think there's too many tread left...

I notice I have uneven wear on the rear tires too, *the inner shoulder is worn faster) so I'm going to have get that check before I sport some new tires.

I'm at er.. 23,000+ miles

thats not right. these crappy firestones should be going on forever. hmm.

I dont thin its my driving style too, its not like I'm autocrossing or anything.. sure I take a corner fast sometimes, but I hardly ever make the tires squeel.

I'm sick of these crappy firestones and their no traction on DRY road.

i'm going to get some Bridgeston Potenza... not sure which one yet.. but yeah.

Well, I got new tires at about 8,000. My tires were basically bald. I actually got them replaced for free though. I went to Firestone and the guy was real quick to offer me new Bridgestone Potenza's (910). He said he would give me 4 free, even though only 2 of my tires were really bad off. So try that.
PM me if you have any more questions.

I just had mine replaced today at 27,000 miles... one of the tires had a bulge in it and most of the tread was gone from all the tires. Firestones of course. Yes... I do rotate my tires.

Those stock firestones are awful. They are seriously the worst tires I've ever driven on in any car. My potenzas however... I love them. They're a bit loud, but if you have your stereo at or above the second square, you won't notice it. They handle/stick much better, too.

I can't believe you guys actually ride on those Firestones. They are dangerous. Three drops of water on the ground and they are like laundry detergent. Y'all should change those quick. I almost had a couple accidents due to those tires. I just put on some Miglia HT3s and 215/40/17 Yokohama Prodigy tires.

Check the wear rating index on the sidewall of the tire and look up the expected mileage. There should also be a card or panphlet withyour owners manual about tire warranty if any.

I knew them Firestones were going to suck so when I changed to bigger tires at around 5000 miles, I just gave them to the tire guy to sell.

I really can't understand why a company like Honda would put those cheap assed Firestones on their cars.

I got about 20,000 miles on my Tiger Paws now and they still have at least 50% tread.
