Tire Problem 1997 honda civic

My guess is bad brakes or anti-rattle plate malfunction. time for a brake job or worse.

B - Replace engine oil and oil filter.
1 - Rotate tires, and check tire pressure and condition
3 - Replace transmission fluid and transfer fluid (if equipped).

Here is a description of what each individual Maintenance code means for your vehicle. (Please remember that more than one code may be displayed at a time)
A - Replace just engine oil and Filter
B - Replace engine oil and oil filter. Also inspect Brake system and components and perform a tire rotation.
1 - Rotate tires, and check tire pressure and condition
2 - Replace air cleaner element, check drive belt, and replace dust and pollen filter.
3 - Replace transmission fluid and transfer fluid (if equipped).
4 - Replace spark plugs, replace timing belt (if equipped), inspect water pump, and inspect/ adjust valve clearance.
5 - Replace engine coolant
6 - Replace rear differential fluid (if equipped).

I replaced the rear struts, when removing i discovered one was totally bad, they didn't seem bad from testing and recovered quickly when pushing on the bumper, but were bad. after replacing my rear tire wear is even after 5k miles. mine were wearing from inside to outside too.

Check Tires for feather edge. Join your fingers together, move around the rear Tire from front to back and vice versa on both of the rear Tires and feel the smoothness. If the tread of the Tire resist the fingers in one direction and smooth on the other, then the Tires may be producing the abnormal noise.
Temporarily bring both the front Tires to the rear and rear Tires to the front on the same side, drive the car and watch the noise. If the noise begins to come from the front end, then the Tires are defective and need replacement. . If the noise still comes from the rear wheels then the rear wheel bearings need replacement.(You can also rotate the Tires in criss cross manner temporarily)
The bearings often vary noise with and without load. Be sure to troubleshoot the noise before spending money on costlier spares.

Does it have rear drum or disk brakes. Remove the right rear tire. If you have drum brakes, the brake material may have separated and got wedged against the drum.

if you don`t rotate the tires this can cause abnormal tire wear.but with tire wear on the outer 1/2 of the tire indicates either the camber setting is off or you could have bad rear springs changing the ride height of the car causing the change in camber.to find out you would have to have a 4 wheel alignment done to check rear alignment readings.if the springs are worn then the ride height can be checked with a tape measure and compared to specs,if off then the springs should be changed along with the rear shocks.

This could be one of three things , either you have an alignment issue , bad suspension parts or just the lack of tire rotation. If the flat spots are at an angle from outside edge to inside edge then the problem is with your rear struts. If the flat spots are either on the out side edge or inside edge then the you have an alignment issue. If the flat spot are consistent all around the tire then you have a tire balance issue or bad rear struts.

the best overall pressure is 32-34 cold tire inflation, better tire wear and a slight increase in MPG

I use 35psi that was why I told u so

Rate this

once a were pattern is worn in tire s unless you rotate tires to the rear they will keep wearing you should rotate your tires every oil change especially if you do alot of around town driving i am willing to bet you that good year lied to you about the alignment i am sure the dealer put it into spec the first time you just need to rotate them a little more often
