ON MY LAST 2 VISITS TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, I HAVE BEEN TALKED WITH ABOUT REPLACING MY TIRES. THE TIRES ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND ARE THE CONTINENTAL 4X4 CONTACT M&S 225165R 17 102T. I HAVE 18,00 MILES ON THE CAR AND IT IS KEPT IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVING. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE "SOFT" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $633.60 PLUS. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE I THOUGHT TIRES LASTED A LOT LONGER THAN 18,000. I THOUGHT TIRES LASTED 50,000 TO 65,00 MILES IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TIRES THAT ARE ON MY CAR. I HAVE NOT REPLACED THE TIRES. DO THESE ORIGINAL TIRES HAVE PREMATURE OR UNEVEN WEAR, IN WHICH CASE THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED FREE. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER - TWO YEARS AGO, JULY 9,2011 I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR ROUTINE SERVICING AND TIRE ROTATION AND WAS ADVISED MY TIRES (ORIGINAL YOKOHAMA) WERE CHOPPY AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER AT THE TIME ONLY RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT WITH THE SAME TIRES WHICH I REFUSED AS I FELT THEY WORE PREMATURELY AND REPLACED THEM AT A TIRE DEALER WITH COOPERS. NOW, TWO YEARS ALMOST TO THE DAY, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCING AND WAS TOLD THE TIRES ARE CHOPPY AND NEED REPLACEMENT AGAIN, THIS TIME 92,000. IS THIS A DEFECT? I ALWAYS SERVICE MY CAR AND NEED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THIS - THIS IS TOO MUCH OF A COINCIDENCE. THANK YOU- *TR
