My 2019 R has just over 14k miles and I am now in a position where I will be purchasing my 2nd and 3rd brand new tire replacement. The first came from running over a nail which happened to be lodged about an inch off of where it would have been repairable by the Honda service tech. There goes $390. Now, after going in for a routine oil change I'm being told my front two tires will need to be replaced as the toe wear is pretty substantial. The alignment on the front wheels are bad. This is the second Honda dealer that tries to tell me that this car isn't meant for longevity and more for performance after giving me bad news. For some reason in my opinion, this is completely inexcusable. My car only has 14k miles, so how can these problems happen this early on? It's a Honda for crying out loud, not a Ferrari. How can the alignment be this far out of whack after such a small amount of road time? I don't beat the car by any means, I really actually baby it. Seems like every time I turn around, I'm spending a ridiculous amount of money on repairs and new tires. Where is my warranty?? Why does Honda not have anything to offer me for having to deal with this so early on? The service tech actually asked me if I planned on keeping the car for long. I replied, "that was the plan initially, but paying for these untimely repairs every time I come in for an oil change is a bit of a turn off." Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable tires to grab before I schedule and alignment? So far this car has become a money pit and it's getting to a point where I'm getting tired of it.
