The original tires on the Civic are Yokohama tires, with sizes 215/50R17 and 215/55R16. Yokohama Tire, founded in 1917 and formerly known as Yokohama Rubber, officially changed its name in China to Yokohama in 2008. The company has developed tire design technology to reduce air resistance during vehicle driving. For the Civic's tires, the following points should be noted during daily use: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to wear from driving, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread wears out, the tire loses its ability to drain water and prevent skidding, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove any pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that can deteriorate rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool the tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires can overheat, increasing tire pressure. In such cases, park to allow the tires to cool naturally. Avoid releasing air to reduce pressure or splashing water to cool the tires, as this can cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging the tires against the road surface.
