Nobody knows yet; the cars are still too new. Some chains are durable, some are fragile. Honda's are an unknown quantity right now. The old RWD T-series Toyota chains would last quite literally forever, just getting noisier and noisier until you got it replaced to prevent deafness. There were certain other chains (Nissan Axxess engine comes to mind) that needed to be replaced at intervals of less than 100K miles, or the interference engine would suffer severe damage. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/
