O.K. Honda knew it put the rear suspension on backwards on some 2006 civics and will correct the issue (root cause) at no cost to the consumer. However, Honda regional parts and service manager denied the claim to replace the 85K tires even prorated with only 13K on them. The dealership agreed with the consumer but they would not be reimbursed so they did not replaced them. We are taking it up further.
This is my beef, knowing full well the root cause caused the wear and tear on the tires and the new tires had only 13K of 85K worn. You would think they would take the offer to prorate the tires. Now they may end eating the whole cost of 4 new tires.
My 2006 Civic does not have the issue at hand. I was blessed. My brother on the other and does and he is not happy and will not purchase another Honda if this is not taken care of. I agree with him

Because of suspension problem with this car, my tires were feathered at aprox 26000 km. Should have gotten longer time out of these tires. They were rotated per schedule at oil changes. Been told from service dept. that there was nothing wrong. Cost me over $500.00 for tires.

This year/model is known for the amount of road noise that it transmits into the interior, and for awhile I assumed that the tire noise was just a reflection of that known problem. However, it got to be such a racket that I decided to replace the OEM tires with Michelin's when the car had something less than 30,000 miles on it. Before I did I felt it would be wise to have alignment done on both the front and back wheels. I took it to an alignment shop that Costco recommended, but they refused to do the alignment because their check showed the alignments to be within specification. Hmmmm, I thought must be strictly a tire problem. Had the Michelin's put on, and now with about 25,000 miles on them Costco refuses to rotate and balance them because the fronts are so badly worn on the inside, and the rears are too badly cupped. The second set of tires also made a terrible racket/vibration. I would say that both sets of tires began being too noisy with about 12,000 miles on them. I am used to tires lasting the amount of miles they are suppose to last - this has been my experience with a '94 Miata (now 90,000 miles) I've had since new and also a 2000 Camry I put 130,000 miles on. I'm bringing it into the Honda dealer and I'll be curious to see what the fix is.
