1. Had car tires rotated every 7500 miles at oil change time. At 23300 after rear tires were put on front in rotation, tires would bounce and were noisy and there was vibration. Tires were cupped and ruined. Dealer said need new tires and alignment. Got new tires, at costco, and alignment at dealer. Dealer gives paper work and still out of spec. Original tires. Issue on 2006 thru some 2008 Honda Civic Hybrids was rear control arms issues. Still an issue, premature wear and cupping causing potential for accident. Honda dealer says nothing wrong, but this is an issue. Others on internet also show same problem with premature tire wear.

Excessive inner-edge rear tire wear (outer edge and middle area tire wear seems normal and has plenty of tread left after the inner edges are excessively worn). Tires replaced at 18,000 miles, 31,000 miles, and need to be replaced again at 40,000 miles (oem dunlop sp31 tires were used each time). Dealer replaced rear control arms at 18,000, advised to rotate the tires more often at 31,000 miles. Dealer mostly seems unable to resolve, or even acknowledge, the issue.

Rear tire cupping on 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid- dealer changed rear upper control arms @ 12,000 mile. I changed tires @ 15,000 -- new tires are doing the same problem.
