when did you replace tires?
Just curious when people changed their tires. I rotated mine at 20k. I'm starting to hear some screetching when I'm turning pretty hard now. I want to get new tires, but don't want to waste these if they're still good. I'm at 33k now. And my steering wheel starts to shake if I brake hard on the highway.

I replaced mine at 500 miles, then again at 750 miles then again at 1500 miles and yet again at 6000 miles. Now that I have 13k on the clock I am down to two sets(one 16" for winter, one 17" for spring/summer/fall).
At 33k I am sure your tires are worth replacing and the little bit you could be "throwing away" is worth it. As tires wear and become low they can be very dangerous in some conditions, an extra month or two is not worth risking anything.
I also agree that you should have your brakes looked at, at 33k your brakes could be getting low and the rotors could be "warped". This is magnified a bit if the person who rotated your tires didn't torque the wheels properly. Honda's seem fairly sensitive to proper wheel torque, over/uneven torqueing tends to cause brake vibrations.

I agree about replacing tires earlier than later, you never know when you'll be needing all the performance its got and more.
