is yours an 06 or 07?
maybe you had the work done on your car and you dont know it. or you have not noticed or waited long enough for the wear to take its place
it happens at a certain point in time alot of mileage must take place on the tire for this wear to happen as well not just 2000 miles you know that right

Mine got it at about 18k...
replaced tires, alignment in Nov/Dec, NOW there is a TSB.
Talking to dealer tomorrow to get some of my $520 back.

Were these tires ever rotated or have they always been on the rear?

I have an 07. I didn't get the work done and not know it, because I didn't take it in until I wrote that post. My tires are wearing evenly though.

Well, I just searched NHTSA's website and there is no TSB concerning this issue.
It may be a Honda Bulletin.
Does anyone have a reference number or VIN range that this affects?
Thanks, nf
