2002 CRV EX Tire warranty

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.

 

thats 23,500 miles...sorry

 

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.

 

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.

 

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.
