2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid Tires & Wheels Problems

Noisy rough ride that was attributed to uneven tire wear on all 4 tires, called "cupping". Safety: Online research of major tire brands and NHTSA state that continuing to drive on cupped tires can be hazardous due to lost of traction, especially in emergency situation. The dealer, a private mechanic and a tire outlet all confirmed that the tires have uneven wear called "cupping". The dealer's service manager and mechanic foreman and a private mechanic all inspected the tires and confirmed the uneven wear. The first symptom was a wump-wump noise and vibration when driving slow, slowing down or making a turn. Problem first appeared around 11,000 miles. Now the problem appears worse. In that the initial noise and vibration is worse and now there is a chattering sound and vibration in highway drive. Plus an occasional "shimmy sensation" when a bump or rough patch in the road is gone over. New development. Since the onset of this problem. Honda has come out with a recall notice regarding an issue with their steering gearbox worm wheel for the car model involved. A Technical service bulletin was issued on the steering problem, with a note that this problem can lead to uneven tire wear. Despite this warning, the service manager for the dealer is insisting that it is safe to drive on cupped tires. I have since taken my car into the dealer to have the recall issue addressed. But again the service manager is insisting that driving on cupped tires is safe. I think this is a potentially danger situation where customers are being told by the Honda dealer that it is safe to continue to drive on cupped tires. I think that the NHTSA needs to require Honda corporation to order all Honda dealers to cover any uneven tire wear from the faulty steering gearbox defect. I just ordered a set of new tires for my safety at a cost of about $1000. Please help.

Rear tires completely bald after 3,000+/- miles. Toe setting was so bad that I was basically dragging the tires down the road. After replacing tires and new alignment done by Honda I had 3 different shops check alignment, they all showed wheels out of alignment and all with different values. After spending nearly 3 hours with Hunter (alignment equip mfr), the rep. said their standard alignment equipment will not work with the wheels but has not provided any resolution. Not knowing the wheels were bald I drove from Bonaire, GA to Jupiter, FL at 70 MPH and sometimes in the rain - Lucky to be alive. I'm concerned for everyone else who owns this vehicle with the wheels. You have no way to know if your vehicle is properly aligned and what happened to me could happen to anyone.
