Haven't brought in my wife's 2002 Civic LX for the courtesy alignment check in years with the lifetime alignment plan.
So I happened to be near one and decided to go in. After figuring out which phone number used (my cell phone) the service writer found our purchase, asked for the keys, and checked the mileage.
I waited around and the writer must have checked the tire date codes. I know the fronts were Sumitomo HTRs that were installed as a full set in 2008, then rotated to the front around 2013 with new tires. I never had them rotated and the previous front tires with lots of shoulder wear were tossed. I bought a pair of Falkens then, installed in the rear.
So she said the fronts (which I know I bought in 2008) were manufactured 2014. They're slightly cracked and I was planning on replacing them soon even with OK tread. Also said the rears has a 2013 date code (sounds about right) and recommended replacing those too. Recommended a set of Primewells which sold for about $45 each but then recommended a bunch of add ons like warranties. When I asked about maybe getting a pair I was told their policy is a 5 year age limit and they won't even rotate a tire if it's older than that.
I'll probably take it to America's Tire. I had them install a pair when the previous set was 5 years old, and they have a road hazard warranty included. And I'm guessing they'll actually rotate the d tires.
