Tires (cont'd)
Tire Replacement
Honda recommends that you replace tires in sets of four, or in pairs,
front or rear. If you need to replace only one tire, mount the new tire
opposite the tire showing the least amount of wear. For instance,
if the left front tire shows the least amount of wear, mount the new
tire on the front right side.
The original tires on your car have
tread wear indicators to indicate
when they should be replaced. The
indicators appear as bands about
12.7 mm (1/2 in) wide when the tire
tread depth is less than 1.6 mm
(1/16 in). When indicators appear
across two or more grooves in a row,
you should replace the tire.
Driving on worn-out tires is very hazardous, and will
reduce braking effectiveness, steering accuracy and traction.
When replacing tires, use only the recommended tire size. Wheel r i m
widths and offsets must be those recommended by American Honda
Motor Co., Inc. Contact the Zone Office nearest you as shown on the
inside of the back cover.
Tires and wheels other than those recommended may
be unsafe. Do not mix radial and bias ply tires on the same car.
Spare Tire
The spare tire on your car is identical to those already mounted to
your car. You can use it as a spare or regular tire. Check the pressure
in the spare tire regularly so it w i l l be ready to use when you need it.
