need some advice, or clarrification?
hey guys,
well i need some help im getting my minor done on monday (since i dont know how to do it myself ) well from my understanding they mentioned to me that they rotate tires.
Here is how my car came when i got it.
the fronts are stock so2 205/55/r16
and the rears are Yoko Es100 255/50/zr16/92w
note I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT TIRES SIZES , im still learning about this car so bear with me. as for the oil change i know that oil filter is supposed to be 15400-pcx-004
so are they supposed to rotate the tires?
and what if they dont have the recommeded oil filter and use the old one?
please any advice or clarrification is well appreciated, thanks guys.

LOL they can't rotate tires if they do they're complete idiots. Tire size is different front and rear.
BTW really really dangerous to have mixed tire type front and back your car will oversteer alot more with what you have.

Carlos,
First and foremost....DO NOT ROTATE THE TIRES. I THINK ITS POSSIBLE, BUT HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED.
As for oil filter, just go to any Honda and buy them. Or you can also use FRAM or any other aftermarket oil filter.
My car got the 23,500 service w/ Honda. They did everything except for rotating tires. Call me up if you have additional questions.

as suggested above i would NOT do any spirited driving with your current tire setup.....though those tire sizes are okay.
if you need to take it to a service shop to get a oil change, i suggest taking it to a Honda dealership that has a express change so you can see what they are doing (faster too). Make sure they use the PCX filter you suggested and about 5.5 qts of oil. Check the oil after they are done too

If you need to rotate L -> R remember the tires you have are directional...

[QUOTE=Eluded,Aug 20 2005, 06:55 PM] Oversteer is when you hit the guardrail rear end first. (spin)
Understeer is when you hit the guardrail front end first. (plow)
I'd imagine it understeers until it snaps. Then again the Toyos aren
