2002 CRV EX Tire warranty

Discussion in 'CR-V' started by Paul \(Erie\), Nov 3, 2003.

  1. Hello all,

    How long is the warranty for on 2002 CRV Tires? I have about 27,500 and the
    tires are just about shot. Is it early enough that I could get them
    replaced free of charge?

    thanks.

    I've got 22,000 and they are in great shape, I rotate every other oil change
    3500 miles (do all maint myself) If you can't prove tire rotation do not
    expect much of a warranty.

  4. the dealer has done tire rotation everytime it has been necessary. My
    question is do I go back to the dealer or the manufacturer of the tire?

    If you have the Bridgestone Duelet H/Ts, then the life of the tire is
    just about up. They only have a 180 treadwear rating, which is abyssmal.
    I replaced mine with Michelin Harmonys and they are worlds better.

    What makes you think the OEM tires have **any** mileage warranty? Remember
    that OEM tires are as cheap as it gets.

  7. In the owner's manual, there should be information on all warranties
    that apply to your vehicle. A tire warranty, if any, may be from the
    tire company; information from the tire company about any such warranty
    should have been included with your owner's manual.

    I drive 99% on the freeway, and I put 87000 MILES on the original Firestone
    FR680 tires on my 2001 Civic EX (bought 12/00) and they still had
    serviceable tread.
    Something is wrong with the way you are driving, or maintaining, your tires
    if yours are shot at 27,500 miles.

    Different kind of tires. Different driving cycle. Different location (it
    does make a difference). Different vehicle. No accounting for average load.
    Etc. There is Zero reason to expect correlation between your experience and
    the original poster's.

    Absolutely right, Dick, on all points. But I have never heard of even an
    average set of tires wearing out the tread in 27K miles if properly
    maintained (inflation, rotation, etc) and the vehicle alignment and
    suspension system is good.
    If this were the general case with the CRV OEM tires, I would expect a lot
    more complaining about it.

    My father in law just replaced BFG Dueler tires on his '99 CRV with
    Michelins. He got about 30000 miles out of them. He's not complaining
    because the Michelins are soooo much better he was glad he got rid of the
    original tires. It's not surprising at all to see tires with a 180
    treadwear rating to wear out that quickly.

    I think if you check your vehicle warranty booklet it states that tires are
    warranted for defects only and that the warranty is handled by the tire
    manufacturer. I don't think you get any mileage warranty with OE tires.

    Zorro,

    Indeed, there are a lot of people complaining about the Dueler H/Ts and
    their poor performance and treadwear. See www.hondasuv.com and
    www.tirerack.com for more information.

    I'm not sure I've ever gotten 40k out of OEM tires. That includes experience
    from new on:

    '78 Ford Fiesta (Mich)
    '86 Acura Integra LS (Mich)
    '86 Isuzu Trooper (BS)
    '88 Honda Accord LXi (Mich)
    '92 Honda Civic Si (Mich)
    '92 Acura Vigor GS (BS)
    '95 Acura Integra GSR (Mich--actually, the car ran away from home at about
    25k and the tires were getting to be short time, I would have checked them
    when the car found its way back home, but the tires didn't return with the
    rest of the car)
    '99 MB SLK-230 (Dunlop, these made 17k)
    '00 CR-V SE (BS--Pirellis should be in this week at 27K to replace them. I
    might have made it to 31 or 32k, but one of the tires failed and the best
    solution seemed to be replacing three that had some life left.)

    And I know you'll say it's maintenance practices or the way I drive. But I
    know more about both of those than you do and have a clean conscience when I
    say that there are just too many other variables you are not considering.
    Once upon a time I read some statistical data that said that there was
    upwards of 40-50% difference in tire life across different regions of the
    country and the local practices for building highways and the materials they
    use to do so. I'm also not sure that somebody who says they drive 98%
    highway or whatever the high number was you mentioned is coming from a
    strong experience base on how fast tires wear under different circumstances.
