: Hi folks,
:
: I have a 2003 Honda Civic with 26k miles. I took the it for a tire
: balancing yesterday as it was starting to vibrate at speeds > 60mph. The
: guy at Tire Express said that I needed new tires! I get my oil changed
: just under every 5000 miles, and with one exception, get my tires
: rotated while I'm there. The guy said that my tread was completely gone,
: and recommended that I should have my wheels aligned twice a year. Don't
: remember reading that in the "what to do every N thousand miles" chapter
: of the manual.
:
: Does 4 new tires after only 26k miles sound reasonable? I'm not a
: boy-racer (don't no handbrake turns, skids, etc), and my driving is 95%
: highway (no more than 10mph over the speed limit). Could not rotating my
: tires for ~10k miles have done this much damage?
:
: Anyway, I'll cut to the chase. I need some new tires. Can anyone
: recommend something? Like I said, my miles are mostly highway in New
: Mexico (dry and dusty 85% of the time, wet/icy 15% of the time). I don't
: mind buying expensive tires as long as there is a good reason for the
price.
:
: Can I do any damage to my car by driving on the tires with little tread?
: I plan to get them changed ASAP, but I had no idea how expensive tires
: were. I think I'll rotate them religiously every 5000 miles next time!
:
: Any help would be greatly appreciated!
