Tires
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.
(Only on vehicles equipped with
aluminum wheels)
NOTICE:
Improper wheel weights can
damage your vehicle's aluminum
wheels. Use only genuine Acura wheel
weights f or balancing.

Tire Rotation
Front
(For Non-directional
Tires and Wheels)
To help increase tire life and
distribute wear more evenly, rotate
the tires every 10,000 miles (16,000
km). Move the tires to the positions
shown in the chart each time they
are rotated. If you purchase
directional tires, rotate only front-to-
back.
Replacing Tires
Replace your tires with radial tires of
Front
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 to work inconsistently.
(For Directional
It is best to replace all four tires at
Tires and Wheels)
the same time. If that is not possible
or necessary, replace the two front
tires or two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can seriously
affect your vehicle's handling.
