I purchased 4 new tires from les schwab on 11-29-17 (102t road control nw3 all seasons bw tires). Seven months later, on 6-20-18, one of the tires blew out. I had driven for 1-1/2 hours in 80 degree weather, and was idling at a traffic light when the tire blew (loud explosion). I didn't have any warning. The tire was split or separated near the rim. The tire had been inflated correctly and was otherwise in good condition. There hadn't been any cases of impact to the tire or an overloaded car. I didn't suffer any damage, because I was very lucky to not be on the freeway. Les schwab replaced the tire for free, as it was still under warranty. I asked what they think happened to the tire, because I'm concerned about whether or not I might have the same problem with the remaining 3 tires, and they didn't respond.

Still no resolution to our air bags. Also, I drive my car a lot. I drive 100 miles a day. 5 days a week. I have over 160,000 miles. I have to buy tires all the time, my last set of 4 has 80,000 mile warranty and I have right at 28,000 miles on this set. I am having to purchase another set of 4 this week. I have paid about 7 or 8,000 dollars on tires I have purchased a least 10 set of tires because they don't wear evenly. I have purchased aliments on numerous occasions. I have purchased expensive tires 1000.00' to cooper tires 600.00! And every set has worn unevenly. I even rotate my tires every 5000 miles I was reading many complaining about the same issue. This is so unsafe traveling on interstate and road ways. Will you please investigate these problems. We really appreciate any help sincerely [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The continental tires honda puts on the crv are poor quality. I was informed by honda's maintenance people that I needed new tires soon last year. I had to replace 4 of them at 39,000 miles now. Good quality tires should drive more than 39,000 miles.

After having the car serviced at the dealership (oil change) I went to have the tires rotated. On the drive home the car was pulling to the right very hard and I had to fight to keep the car on the road. Discussed the problem with the tire store and took the car back the next day. After numerous tire rotations nothing fixed the problem and the car was now straying to the left, if I made a left hand turn, on top of pulling to the right, if I made a right hand turn. Neither the dealership or the tire store had ever experienced this, nor did they know what the problem was. Then I had the mechanic, from the dealership, drive the car and he blamed it on the tire pressure being off 5 pounds in the front vs the rear. However, he had the car in service department for 20-25 minutes and I did not see what was done to the car. Then he explaned it was all fixed, it should drive normally and the tire pressure was the problem. The tires are not wearing evenly and I am on my second set. I rotate/balance them when required and keep all receipts. I was also told there was an oil leak in the front crank seal with no explanation as to why. My concern is the with the steering pulling so hard to the right and at issue is safety. The dealership could not explain why it was pulling either direction and blaming it on the tires and air pressure. I don't buy that at all. Now it drives straight down the road and does not pull. But what caused it to do this in the first place? Will this happen again? Is there a honda recall and if not why?

I purchased my honda cr-v in june of 2008. I have approximately 27,000 miles on my vehicle. I was told the tires needed to be replaced. I was told the tires should not have worn so fast and there was a known problem with this particular tire. The vehicle now plus strongly to the left at highway speeds and I was told this was not due to the tire wear. They are still trying to figure out what is wrong with the left front tire. I have had several honda's and can say I am very disappointed in this one and will not buy another.

Where to start. I bought my new 2008 honda crv in january of 2008. In february I has a low tire indicator light and brought it to my local garage for a tire check. Nothing wrong with the tires, but they put air in them. I have had the same problem without fail about 6 times in addition to my regular maintenance appointments. I have had my services at each service indicator and performed all of the indicated codes. Tire rotations at each service by a honda dealer. At my second service on 1/30/09, 16,000miles my tires were marked as 6/32 wear tread remaining. At my third and most recent service 9/5/09 the tires were marked as 4/32 remaining, and I was advised that I would need to buy new tires at less, this is with 26,000 miles on the vehicle. I contacted bridgstone/firestone regarding the short life of the tires and they said that they know about the problem, but that it is honda that is buying poorly made "cheap" tires and putting them on their new vehicles because they do not warranty them for mileage. Then honda makes out like bandits for selling you new tires in 18,000 to 32,000 miles with an added cost for mounting and 4-wheel alignment at just about $800.00. The honda service tech seemed to get some humor in telling me that I needed new tires at 26,000 miles and was very accommodating as far as providing me a price for the same exact pieces of crap that came with the vehicle, plus mounting and balancing fee, plus a 4 wheel alignment fee. If I had known about this before I bought my vehicle I would not have bought from honda. I too was looking for a vehicle that was good in the snow we see in new england winters and had good gas mileage. What a scam honda has going!
