    That just would'nt be true.I take it you mean they confirmed that the tyres wont be covered by Honda warranty in the situation you and i have put ourselves in by being so impudent as to disregard their advice and run the bigger rims on our Standard model Euros.
    not the whole car, but basically if you do any kind of "modification" to your stock vehicle they will attribute fault to that as much as they can.. for example if you put on bigger wheels and then one of your shocks blow, they will blame it on the wheels even though it has very little to do with it unless u've cut ur springs.

    similarly, if you put in a CAI and any engine issues come up, dont expect honda to fix it under warranty.

    In my experience it depends on the dealer.some are mod friendly some are wankers about it.

    I would have thought if you put on heavier rims your shocks and brakes have much more work to do. So it is not really outrageous for Honda to deny a blown shock warranty claim if you have 19" heavy chromies. I would say it is entirely fair. Sometimes people double the weight of the rim and tyre package and expect every component to last like OEM.
