Acura 2000 NSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 214)

Tires
The tire mileage you can expect
from your NSX is the same as
comparable mid-and rear-engined
sports cars, and it will vary greatly
with your driving habits. If you drive
moderately, the rear tires could last
more than 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
However, the mileage will be
substantially less if you tend to drive
your NSX at the upper limits of its
capabilities. You should carefully
inspect your car's tires for wear,
damage, and proper inflation every
7,500 miles (12,000 km) (see page
209 ).
Replacing Tires and Wheels
The tires that came with your car
were selected to match the perform-
ance capabilities of the car while
providing the best combination of
handling, ride comfort, and long life.
You should replace them with radial
tires of the same size, load range,
speed rating, and maximum cold tire
pressure rating (as shown on the
tire's side-wall). Mixing radial and
bias-ply tires on your car can reduce
its braking ability, traction, and
steering accuracy. It is best to replace all four tires at
the same time. If that is not possible
or necessary, then replace the two
front tires or the two rear tires as a
pair. Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your car's handling.

Maintenance
Installing improper tires on your
car can affect handling and
stability. This can cause a crash
in which you can be seriously
hurt or killed.
Always use the size and type of
tires recommended in this
owner's manual.
