Tyre wear on Prelude
My 92 Prelude had a brand new set of tyres (tires) fitted when I bought
it, and after ~25,000km (~16,000miles) the rear ones are almost bald and the front are still OK. Normally it's the front tyres that wear quickly on front wheel drive vehicles, I thought. Could this be anything to do with the rear steering (it's a 4WS)? Thanks, Barry |

Did you rotate your tires at every 10K or even less - rear tires have a
bad habit of cupping on fwd autos - hear some people's tires going wow wow wow down the highway - they have never rotated their tires. Also check pressure - keep it at the max recommended on the tag on the door - also what brand-"model" were the tires - some really awful stuff out there. I got around 75K miles on OEM god awful Michelin MXV4's got around 80 on next set of X-One's. |

Also and have bad springs/struts in the back. that will cup the rear tires, as they bounce up and down off the road like a basketball. |
