On April 11 2009 I purchased four new bridgestone dueller h/t 684 tires for my 2004 Honda crv. On April 23 I had r & m automotive in northridge, CA align the wheels on the crv. R & m is my regular mechanic for this car. The mileage at that time was 83875. On November 26, 2009 I noticed exposed steel belts on the left rear tire and excessive wear on the other three tires. The car mileage was 92763. I was told this extreme tire wear was the result of improper alignment when I took the car to the store where I bought them. They did however note that it was unsafe to drive on the left rear tire and installed the spare tire. I then took the car to r & m where they checked the alignment and found nothing wrong. R& m thought it was unsafe to drive on the tires and offered to provide a rental. R& m replaced the tires at no cost. I still have the tires in my possession and I believe they were flawed from the manufacturer. I was extremely lucky that I discovered this situation before I was on the freeway. The tires had only 8,400 miles on them and I wasn't checking them because I thought they were good for another 30,000 miles. I have used these tires before and they performed well and I got 40-50,000 miles of wear.

My wife was driving on I-95 south @ 65 mph. Traveling from baltimore MD to kitty hawk nc on vacation. She noticed a vibration in the car. She pulled over and found the front passenger tire was nearly flat and the sidewalls were coming apart. She had the spare tire installed and continued to her destination. She took the tire to a repair shop. They said the sidewall failed. They showed her where the other front tire was starting to fall apart. The two rear tires were also failing. She had to purchase 4 new tires. All 4 tires were purchased in October 2005. The tires are bf goodrich long trail. All tires were routinely rotated and balanced. I checked the air pressure on 09/10/09. She is on vacation. I will try to have her bring one tire home as evidence. She does not have enough space to bring 4 tires home. The tires have between 7/32" and 8/32" of tread remaining.

2006 Honda Cr-v exterior spare tire carrier safety problem. My vehicle recently required the spare tire be removed from the vehicle to replace a road hazard damaged tire. On removing the spare tire cover, it was noticed that only two of the three tire lugs that support the tire were in place. The vehicle came with three tire lugs for the spare, as this was noticed when a different spare tire cover was installed within the first month of vehicle ownership. The damaged tire was replaced with a new tire and the serviceman went to place this new tire on the exterior spare tire carrier. He sheared off one more of the lugs and stated that he had not applied excessive force to have this happen. He also mentioned that this was the second lug now missing and that the spare tire should not be placed on the exterior spare tire carrier with only a single lug to carry the weight of the spare tire. The spare tire was placed in the interior rear storage area. I was given the sheared off lug, which I still have in my possession, should it be required to determine if structural failure was the result by examination of a metallurgist. Contacting the dealer where the vehicle was purchased (Honda of bowie, MD), the dealership would not correct the problem, at no cost to me, as a latent defect, as they stated it was beyond the normal warranty period. They questioned whether the vehicle had been serviced according to the service manual. I responded that the spare tire carrier lugs are not a serviceable item (except to tighten the lugs to retain the tire) and that the lugs should last the life of the vehicle. I was referred to the next Honda level of appeal, where I am still awaiting a resolution. I feel this is a safety problem in that the spare tire can possibly fall off the vehicle if the spare tire lugs fail, and would like to have this documented for other Cr-v owners to help with similar problems.

Spare tires on late modle crv's stick out farther than bumper and it your vehicle nudges the crv from behind, the spare tire contracts the vehicles hood and causes a big dent and hundreds of dollars of damage. So much for 5 mph bumpers.
