TREAD WEAR
INDICATORS
Your car's tires have wear indica-
tors molded into the tread. When
the tread wears down to that point,
you will see a 12.7 mm (1/2 inch)
wide band running across the tread.
This shows there is less than 1.6
mm (1/16 inch) of tread left on the
tire. A tire that is this worn gives
very little traction on wet roads.
You should replace the tire if you
can see the tread wear indicator in
three or more places around the
tire.

correct wheel alignment helps to

decrease tire wear. You should get
your car's wheel alignment check-
ed every 12 months or 24,000 km
(15,000 miles).
The tires were properly balanced
by the factory. They may need to
be rebalanced at some time before
they are worn out. 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.
Make sure the installer balances
the wheels when you have new
tires installed. This increases riding
comfort and tire life.
NOTICE
(Si model)
Improper wheel weights can
damage your car's aluminum
wheels. Use only genuine Honda
wheel weights for balancing.

Tire Rotation

Front
To help increase tire life and
distribute wear more evenly, you
should have the tires rotated every
12,000 km (7,500 miles). Move the
tires to the positions shown in the
chart each time they are rotated.
