Tyre Maintenance
In addition to proper inflation,
correct wheel alignment helps to
decrease tyre wear. If you find a tyre
is worn unevenly, have your dealer
check the wheel alignment.
Have your dealer check the tyres if
you feel a consistent vibration while
driving. A tyre should always be
rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel. When you have new tyres
installed, make sure they are
balanced. This increases riding
comfort and tyre life. For best
results, have the installer perform a
dynamic balance.
For vehicles equipped with aluminium
wheels:
Improper wheel weights can damage
your vehicle's aluminium wheels.
Use only genuine Honda wheel
weights for balancing.
Tyre Rotation
Front
(For non-directional (For directional
tyres and wheels) tyres and wheels)
To help increase tyre life and
distribute wear more evenly, rotate
the tyres every 10,000 km (6,250
miles). Move the tyres to the
positions shown in the diagram each
time they are rotated. If you
purchase directional tyres, rotate
only front-to-back.
Replacing Tyres and Wheels
Replace your tyres with radial tyres
of the same size, load range, speed
rating, and maximum cold tyre
pressure rating (as shown on the
tyre's sidewall).
Mixing radial and bias-ply tyres on
your vehicle can reduce braking
ability, traction, and steering
accuracy. Using tyres of a different
size or construction can cause the
ABS to work inconsistently.
The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. When replacing
tyres, use the same size originally
supplied with the vehicle. Tyre size
and construction can affect wheel
speed and may cause the system to
work.
