Tyre Service Life; Tyre And Wheel Replacement - Honda Civic 2017 Owner's Manual

Tyre Service Life

The life of your tyres is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and
environmental conditions (even when the tyres are not in use).
In addition to regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is
recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tyres reach five
years old. All tyres, including the spare
years from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.

Tyre and Wheel Replacement

Replace your tyres with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and
maximum cold tyre pressure rating (as shown on the tyre's sidewall). Using tyres of
a different size or construction can cause certain vehicle systems such as the ABS
and Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system to work incorrectly.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that isn't possible, replace the
front or rear tyres in pairs.
Make sure that the wheel's specifications match those of the original wheels.

This vehicle is equipped with high grip tyres.
Due to their focus on dry-grip performance, these
tyres have shallower tread grooves and wear faster
than ordinary commercial tyres.
Periodically check the tread depth.
Drive at a safe speed in the rain and on wet roads.
