I have a 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid, I am on my second set of tires due to them rubbing on the inside of the tire well. My car has 62,000 miles on it. I am going next week to get another set of tires ( the third set). The back tires rub excessively so much so the back of the car shakes, if I have any weight in the car it is almost unbearable.
I recently bought new tires and the steel tried is showing through. Honda dealership said that Honda was aware of the problem and, if I bought new tires, that they would give me a free alignment. Not cool seeing as Honda should give me new tires and fix the problem. My car now makes loud noises due to the tires and, with all the other fixes I am having to get, I am rethinking Honda's commitment to customer satisfaction. I am thinking of trading it in for a prius.

The current mileage is 22,652 and failure mileage was 22,300. The consumer stated he has reason to believe the problem is the battery pack(between rear seat and trunk) is causing the rear tires to wear unevenly. Updated 07/10/07.
