No new NHTSA tires complaint has been filed on this vehicle in over 13 years — the issue may be aging out of the active population.
Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins
The manufacturer has issued service bulletins covering tires on this vehicle — documented repair instructions, service campaigns, or warranty extensions sent to dealers. A TSB isn't a recall (it's not a free safety remedy), but it's the manufacturer acknowledging the issue and how to fix it.

The failure pattern owners describe
Owners of 2007 CR-Vs report a cluster of tire and tire-monitoring troubles. Several got stuck in modest snow with factory-issue Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires despite AWD and low mileage, then found replacement Alenza tires worked fine in the same conditions. One owner experienced a blowout in the Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max at 27,000 miles—well within the 65,000-mile warranty—that caused loss of control on I-95; the tire split rim-to-rim with severed belts, and Goodyear refused to replace it, offering only a small discount instead.
Multiple owners report dry rot appearing unexpectedly on OEM tires (Yokohama, Continental) at low mileage or within a few years of purchase—sometimes just one year old with 35,000 miles. Continental OEM tires also show up cupped and noisy around 14,000 miles; dealers have dismissed this as simply cheap factory rubber. One set of Hankook tires wore unevenly over just 21,000 miles.
The TPMS warning light is prolific: it illuminates intermittently during highway driving, sometimes after 25 minutes at speed, and doesn't always reset when the car stops. Dealer sensor replacements and full system resets have not fixed the problem in several cases. One complaint alleges wheels were installed without TPMS sensors at all, deliberately disabling the system.

Failure modes owners describe
Poor Winter/Snow Traction — OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/T
OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires provided inadequate traction in snow despite AWD and low mileage (under 25,000 miles). Owner narrowly avoided two serious incidents (sliding toward a creek, stuck immediately after snowstorm) before replacing with Bridgestone Alenza tires, which resolved the problem in identical conditions.
When: 2009–2010; less than 25,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: loss of traction in snow despite AWD; vehicle stuck on minor snow patches; sliding risk on snow-covered roads
Repairs/costs cited: Replaced OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/T with Bridgestone Alenza tires; problem immediately resolved
Blowout — Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max
Goodyear Assurance Fuel Max tire blew out at 70 mph on I-95 with only 27,000 miles (within 65,000-mile warranty). Tire split from rim to rim with belts severed despite no impact reported. Vehicle inspected and rotated 2 months prior at Goodyear store. Goodyear manager could not determine cause; Goodyear offered only small price adjustment and denied defect.
When: December 2012; 27,000 miles; purchased August 2010
Symptoms owners cite: sudden blowout at highway speed; loss of control; vehicle swerved across six lanes; nearly flipped; tire split rim to rim with severed belts
Repairs/costs cited: Tire split from rim to rim with severed belts; Goodyear offered price adjustment only
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Goodyear denied defect; offered small price adjustment; no recall issued
Dry Rot — Yokohama Tires
Four Yokohama tires with approximately 35,000 miles and one year of age developed one inch or more of dry rot on all four tires. Tires were purchased and installed at Honda dealership. TPMS light warned of tire pressure issue. Dealer unable to explain how condition was missed during inspection.
When: One year after purchase; 35,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: TPMS warning light on dash; visible dry rot one inch or more on all four tires
Repairs/costs cited: Owner purchased replacement tires; different brand selected. Dealer and Tire Rack return/credit process described as inadequate.
Premature Blowout — Continental OEM Tires
Both left-side OEM Continental tires blew out simultaneously during lane change at 40 mph with only 29,000 miles on the vehicle. No impact reported. Owner had been rotating tires as recommended. Honda dealership recommended replacement of all four tires at cost of approximately $1,000. Owner reports many other 2007 CR-V and Civic owners complaining of abnormal wear on OEM Continental tires.
When: 29,000 miles; tires rotated per Honda recommendation
Symptoms owners cite: simultaneous blowout of both left-side tires; loss of control during lane change; abnormal wear on OEM tires
Repairs/costs cited: All four tires replaced at cost of approximately $1,000
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Honda blamed tire manufacturer and directed customer to contact tire maker directly
Tire Cupping — Continental OEM Tires
Continental OEM tires began cupping on the outside of rear tires around 14,000 miles, causing noise. Dealer stated nothing was wrong with the car and characterized tires as cheap. Owner notes this is a known problem affecting many 2007 CR-V and Civic models.
When: 14,000 miles
Symptoms owners cite: noise from tires; outside rear tires cupped; abnormal tire wear
Repairs/costs cited: Dealer offered to sell replacement tires but did not address defect
Uneven Tire Wear — Hankook Radial
Hankook Radial 225/65/R17 tires installed at 64,000 miles began wearing unevenly by 85,000 miles (21,000 miles of service). Vehicle was parked when uneven wear was noticed. Independent shop diagnosed tires as defective.
When: 85,000 miles on vehicle; 21,000 miles on tires
Symptoms owners cite: uneven tire wear; defective tires identified by repair shop
Repairs/costs cited: Tires were not replaced per complaint narrative
TPMS Light Intermittent Illumination — Sensor/System Fault
TPMS warning light illuminates intermittently during highway driving and does not reset when vehicle stops. Multiple sensor replacements (two tires with new sensors) have not resolved the issue. Light comes on after approximately 25 minutes of highway speeds. Light remains illuminated even after complete system reset and component replacement attempts by dealer. Mileage range 750–10,000 miles. Root cause remains unidentified by dealer; may be related to computer system controlling other vehicle functions.
When: Starting at 300–1,000 miles; persisting through 10,000+ miles
Symptoms owners cite: TPMS light comes on during highway driving; light does not reset when vehicle stops; light persists for extended periods; intermittent illumination recurring over thousands of miles
Codes mentioned: TPMS system fault
Repairs/costs cited: Dealer reset TPMS, replaced two tire sensors, replaced all four pressure sensors—problem persists
Recalls/TSBs owners mention: Dealer unable to locate or correct root cause
TPMS Light Sensitivity to Pressure Variation
TPMS light illuminates intermittently when tire pressures vary slightly from recommended 35 psi, particularly at highway speeds. Light comes on and resets sporadically. Light activation correlates with tire pressure drops of only 2–5 psi below recommended pressure (e.g., 30–33 psi range).
When: Cold weather; intermittent over time
Symptoms owners cite: TPMS light comes on at highway speeds; light resets when vehicle stops or pressure restored to 35 psi; light sensitive to minor pressure fluctuations
Repairs/costs cited: No repair attempted; issue resolved by maintaining tires at 35 psi
Dry Rot — Continental OEM Tires
Continental 225/65 R17 OEM tires developed dry rot at 19,000 miles and three years after purchase, despite vehicle having no accident history and outstanding service record. Owner states this is unusual for a three-year-old vehicle with low mileage.
When: 19,000 miles; three years after vehicle purchase
Symptoms owners cite: dry rot visible on tires; premature tire degradation
TPMS Inoperative — Wheels Installed Without Sensors
Aftermarket wheels installed on the vehicle did not include TPMS sensors, rendering the tire pressure monitoring system inoperable. Owner alleges retailer knowingly and willingly made the system inoperative despite being advised that such action violates the make inoperative prohibition of 49 USC 30122.
When: <UNKNOWN>
Symptoms owners cite: TPMS system inoperable; wheels installed without TPMS sensors

It's a documented issue but not catastrophic. 15 complaints have been filed. Repairs average $150 and most owners catch it before it causes a breakdown.
At what mileage does the tires typically fail?
Across the 10 complaints that reported odometer mileage, most tires failures cluster between 29,000 and 59,100 miles, with the median around 57,000. A quarter of owners report trouble before 29,000; a quarter make it past 59,100. Maintenance history matters more than the odometer alone — this is the reported failure window, not a guarantee.
What does it cost to fix?
Independent shops typically charge around $150 for tires repairs on this vehicle. Dealer pricing tends to run 20-40% higher. The exact figure depends on the specific failure mode, parts availability, and your local labor rates. If you're outside factory warranty, an extended service contract often covers this category.
Are there any recalls related to tires?
No active recalls currently cover tires issues on this vehicle. The complaints filed represent owner-reported failures that haven't risen to the level of a manufacturer-issued recall — but they're still worth knowing about before you buy or budget for repairs.
