How often should I rotate my Honda type are tires?
We burned through the other front tire—the one that didn’t eat a pothole—at 8900 miles, a new record in tire wear for our long-term fleet. However, if you rotate the tires every 5000 miles, they should be able to stretch to 15,000 miles. This sent us looking for aftermarket options. We knew going in we had strong feelings for the Type R.
What’s the problem with the Honda Type R?
Also, the Type R doesn’t have direct tire-pressure monitoring at each corner. Instead, it uses deviations in wheel speeds to sniff out a low tire. It regularly gave us false alarms, which, given our early tire wounds, induced panic each and every time.
How long does it take for Honda tire monitoring system to reset?

How long do you have to drive car after tire rotation?
Bingo. Mischief managed. Dealer mechanics must have a special tool that gets around this, otherwise they’d have to either drive the car themselves for 20 minutes or tell customers to keep driving for 20 minutes after leaving the premises.

Where to reset TPMs on Honda Civic touring?
I scanned the dashboard for a reset button — something a car with indirect TPMS would need to have — but found nothing. But our Civic Touring has a huge all-powerful touchscreen, and one of the destinations on the home screen is called Vehicle Settings. I went there and immediately hit paydirt: TPMS Calibration was the first selection.
