Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 20092001 CRV hard on tires?
My Wife's 2001 CRV has 108k and on it's 4th set of tires. The Coopers have lasted the longest and seem to be going to last for awhile. The Bridgestone tires did not last very long. My Rav4 uses the exact same tire, except in size that the CRV uses. I still run Bridgestones and with 117k am on my 2nd set of tires. I still have my original rear brakes and only replaced my front at 92 k, the CRV all replaced long ago. Has anyone else experienced tire issues or other problems with their CRV like this? > My Wife's 2001 CRV has 108k and on it's 4th set of tires.

Even she trys to tell me it is her. ..lol snip > Has anyone else experienced tire issues or other problems with their CRV > like this? Honda vs Toyota Honda cars handle better than Toyota cars, in general. And Honda drivers tend to drive their cars harder and wear out tires and brakes faster. That said, Honda brakes are some of the worst and Toyotas some of the best with respect to durability. Friends of mine with a CRV also remarked about poor tire wear. They needed more room and bought an AWD Sienna which they say is superior in every way except mpg. > snip >> Has anyone else experienced tire issues or other problems with their CRV [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > also remarked about poor tire wear.

That a really crappy definition. I car that is really really grippy, but impossible to control will qualify by your definition as having great handling. Great handling means remaining in control and being able to precisely control the car even during agressive maneuvering. The car shouldn't roll excesively, it should go where you would expect it to, and it should remain predictable during hard braking or acceleration. > Great handling means remaining in control and being able to precisely > control the car even during agressive maneuvering. The car shouldn't > roll excesively, it should go where you would expect it to, > and it should remain predictable during hard braking or acceleration. and given the average skill level of your typical family car driver, I think it's safe to say that in their hands the CRV and Sienna deliver just about the same level of handling. >>>> eh? ?then they must be total freds. >>> [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > That a really crappy definition. Nope. It's the classic race car definition of the term. > I car that is really really grippy, ??? > but impossible to control will qualify by your definition as having > great handling. Impossible to control at high speed and *very* fast turns you mean by definition. Entirely dependent on the driver. > Great handling means remaining in control and being able to precisely > control the car even during agressive maneuvering. Again control depends of the ability (or lack thereof) of the driver. > The car shouldn't > roll excesively, it should go where you would expect it to, > and it should remain predictable during hard braking or acceleration. Those are only factors that determine lateral G, hence are redundant. Acceleration (postive and negative) in the direction of movement are completely beside the point. Lateral G is commonly measured most accurately on a skid pad in a constant radius turn while *slowly* gaining speed.

That tank gets maybe 22-24 mpg and I get in the winter 24-26 and in the summer 27-30. Even when I drove the CRV on a trip I could only get 28 out of it. > On Jun 7, 7:34 pm, "Gh0stRid3r" <nos...@nospam.net> wrote: > snip [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > in the summer 27-30.

If you can get better millage out of the car than your wife can I would totally think that its her driving. she must be hard on the gas, hard on the brake, lots of stop and go in town, or accordion driving on the hwy. > snip > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > also remarked about poor tire wear.
