I doubt you can do much about that. >The OEM tires on my CR-V LX 2WD suck. Any suggestions for a better tire? http://www.tirerack.com/ Honda salesman told me they don't do a 2wd version so what's going on here?

A quick look at Edmunds.com shows a front wheel drive (2wd) and an all wheel drive (AWD) version of each trim level for the 2008 CR-V. There has never been a rear wheel drive only version. Your salesman is either totally uninformed or just lying to try to sell you what he has on the lot. > Honda salesman told me they don't do a 2wd version so what's going on here? Honda salesmen are fos. Mine told me they don't do a 2WD version of CR-V EX. But mine's a 2WD LX. Check Edmunds to be sure. http://automobiles.honda.com/cr-v/ Yep -- there are 2WD versions of LX, EX, and EX-L >> Honda salesman told me they don't do a 2wd version so what's going on >> here? > > Honda salesmen are fos.

I bought it in Tempe, Arizona in November. The salesman said that the EX 2WD models were listed but weren't available in the U.S. Clearly he was trying to steer me to a model that was more available. I still had to wait six weeks to take delivery. Do you trust a car salesman? >>>>>> Honda salesman told me they don't do a 2wd version so what's going on >>>>>> here?

[quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > My local Honda dealer's website shows 6 2WD CR-Vs in stock. 1 LX, 2 EX, 3 > EX-L. sorry, I'm in the UK, I guess this is a US version. We have a 2 litre petrol anda 2.2 diesel (manual only) All are a 2 wheel drive in normal driving and if it detects "slippage" drive is fed through to the rears so not a "real" 4wd Personally I'm more than happywith this as in around a years driving I've felt the rears kick in twice for around a second or two. I think this gives me security, comfort and the higher driving position of a 4x4 without the drag, weight and complexity of other vehicles. Its a bit of a standing joke in the UK about the bigger 4wd cars being driven mainly by yummy mummys in london as that canyon outside Harrods can be treacherous in the rain :) > Its a bit of a standing joke in the UK about the bigger 4wd cars being > driven mainly by yummy mummys in london as that canyon outside Harrods can > be treacherous in the rain :) With all the traffic that neighborhood is treacherous all the time! Was there last April and will be there again this July. hopeyou have a good time here in july >> Its a bit of a standing joke in the UK about the bigger 4wd cars being >> driven mainly by yummy mummys in london as that canyon outside Harrods >> can be treacherous in the rain :) > > With all the traffic that neighborhood is treacherous all the time!

How many 2WD models of each? >>>>>>>> Honda salesman told me they don't do a 2wd version so what's going >>>>>>>> on here? [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > How many 2WD models of each? As I said above: 1 LX, 2 EX, 3 EX-L. 6 total. All 2WD. So they have made it at least to Ohio. ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** Select a high end road only tire (Michelin) in the correct size for your CRv. Tread pattern plays a big part in the road noise. Tread and tire construction for handling. The CRv will not handle like a Civic Si, no matter which tires you install. But a closer tread block design will make it quieter. > The OEM tires on my CR-V LX 2WD suck. Any suggestions for a better tire? > > TIA |
