the smaller tire you run the more road you feel, therefore there will be more which "could" affect your cd stacker/stereo.

im not saying it happens to everyone.. but its a valid reason. dont be narrow minded.

stock cars stereos, when hitting pot holes or bumps dont normally cut out because of the suspension being soft and the tire having give, in the chunk of it, but when, the suspension or wheels have been changed its a different story..

have you ever run a 40 or below series tire on stiff suspension? and hit a bad patch in a road..

I hear you, but having gone from 15" to 18" with lower profile tyres, there really isn't that much diff. Mind you I'm yet to lower it, that I'm guessing will have a bigger effect than low profile tyres.

Still I think you give too much credit to Honda, they are after all just trying to make a buck, not the perfect car.

From what I've seen, they seem to try and wiggle out of any possible warranty claim they can. No wonder the sales guy told me "Honda have never had to replace an engine on warranty - thats how good they make 'em!". Obviously what he meant was, Honda WILL not honour the warranty, since they'll find something to void it... maybe with "Oh, you once revved it to 6.5k rpm, which is higher than you should have revved it to."

Not so sure my next car will be a Honda. Especially now that the only "sports" car they have will be a civic type r - a half-arsed UKDM one at that.
