2006 honda civic ex sedan. Approximately 94,000 miles and have worn through 3 sets of tires. Tires get rotated and balanced every 7,500 miles and tires are always goodyear brand. On 8/15/2015 noticed that 2006 honda civic had a flat tire (rear passenger side). After removing wheel and inspecting tire it was noticed that the tire had been completely worn through on interior tread (wire mesh was worn through and actual hole had developed in tire). It was shocking an complete tire failure and blowout had not taken place while driving. Independent garage serviced the vehicle and determined that control arms needed to be replaced/amended (estimated cost of $1100.00) and at minimum a new tire was needed as well as new alignment. New tire put on, balancing and alignment of all tires/wheels - $210.00 as of 8/18/2015. It is likely that the faulty control arm issues are to blame for the premature wear on previous and current set of tires.

With my seven year old car I have gone through numerous tires. Always replacing them due to the alignment on my car which I have been told is nothing that can be fixed. This is way beyond costly and I don't think that we should have to keep paying for honda's mistakes. I will just be driving down the road then randomly my tires will blow out. Something needs to be done about this.

I am on my 8th pair of tires with my vehicle. My tires wear out prematurely and cause heavy vibrations while driving. The tires get noticeable flat spots on them and the tread wears very thin on the inside of the tires. 2 years ago we became extremely close to have one tire blow out on us as it was worn almost through the entire tire. I believe this is a very dangerous problem that honda should deal with. They have come out with a kit for the rear upper control arms that are "suppose" to fix the problem. I took my car in to have the arms replaced, first honda regional service manager said they would not pay for the repair. Second, they put the upgraded control arms on the car and they still couldn't get the tires aligned properly, so thirdly I have to wait so they can order some after-market control arms to hopefully fix the problem. You can plainly see when the car is sitting on a flat surface that the tires are slanted too much. It is so obvious that if they couldn't see it at production, they should think about their hiring process. This is dangerous, and people shouldn't have to pay for problems that are caused by the manufacturer.

Premature and uneven wear on rear tires. Honda has a service bulletin, 08-001, which addresses a problem with rear upper control arm. Upper control arm needs to be replaced on 2006 and 2007 models due to poor design. However, honda is waiting until people complain before they are replacing the control arms. Honda changed the design on 2008 and newer civics. On my car, a mechanic noticed that the left rear tire was wore down to the cord on the inside part of the tire, which could have caused a blowout. Also, tire tread on inside part of right rear tire was noticeably worn, although not as bad as left rear tire. Tire tread on front tires is fine. And tire tread on the outside part of the rear tires is fine. Very difficult to see the damaged portion of the rear tires without having car up on rack.

2006 honda civic wheel bearing problems I have had to replace a right front wheel bearing after mechanic replacing worn tire notice wheel hub was wobbling and coming out and could have cause an very bad accident .this was january 2010 . Today november 11 2010 the left rear bearing went bad.

I've had a problem with the rear tires wearing out quickly, and vibrations when traveling above 50 MPH. Yesterday the right rear tire separated, and started smoking. I changed the tire and took the car in and the other rear tire had very unusual wear to the belt on the inner part. The same place the other tire separated. In looking this up on the internet it seems to be a common problem with the honda civics and the rear alignment being defective. This should be investigated before someone, if not already, is killed by such problem.

2006 honda civic does not have rear tire adjustment camber (?)package that allows rear tires to be aligned properly, which results in tires being wore out prematurely and an increase in blowouts/flat tires.

2006 honda civic ex 2 door. Honda has a service bulletin for a bad rear upper control arm. Over time due to this defect inner tire wear is excessive. This can lead to tire blow out. Honda is only replacing the part when asked. Due to this defect I have gone through two sets of tires, a brake job, and now need a new wheel bearing. Honda is only willing to replace the control arm. They are charging for alignment, wheel bearing, and tires. This really seems like something that should be a recall. Tires only lasting 10,000 miles before becoming dangerous is not good.

Rapid tire wear may not be noticed and tire failure could occur. Defective rear suspension control arms cause inside edge of tire to drag and wear rapidly. My rear tires were down to steel cords when I noticed problem. This was covered by the federal safety agency item number 10024687.
