How many miles on your RDX?
I just bought a 2015 RDX. It had 4 miles on it. Now it has 500. So far I love it. My last vehicle was 15 years old and had 270k and was still running great (gave it to my son). I am wondering if these RDXs can go the distance. How many miles are on your ride?

I don't have a problem with the current tires. The Michelins are one of the best in the industry as far as I know. You can put tires meant for performance but the RDX is not the right car for that (Just keep the four new tires in place and change the car 😃

I put the Goodyear Assurance tires on the XC60 after wearing out(and getting tired of) the original Scorpions and swapped the original C70 Michelins for the same type tire. Fantastic improvement in grip and noise. These stock Michelins on the RDX have never felt all that grabby to me and have been very loud(at various tire pressures) on our concrete highways(less noisy on the asphalt, naturally). Unfortunately, we traded both of the Volvos for new vehicles within a year of the tire swap...no feedback on long-term reliability or performance. The Goodyear Assurance is actually sold as a quiet, comfortable tire; but I found the wet and dry gripping improvement to be significant.

Just under 9000 miles. Bought it in August 2013. We don't drive much, just a couple of old retired people. We had the CR-V we traded in for six years and it had just under 30000 miles.

With just about 45K, our tires are just about done. Strongly considering the Continental Cross Contact LX20. After all my years in the tire business, I've been very impressed with their products.

2014 RDX bought 08/20 with 116K miles, now has 130K miles. No problems. I was able to find the Acura records showing that the timing belt et al. had been changed.
RFT!!!

2016 RDX bought 03/17 with 21K and has 80K on it today. Nothing but regular maintenance so far.

51,000 miles and I just solved the "massive hesitation upon acceleration" problem. I haven't posted the solution yet as I want to keep verifying for a while that it is a permanent solution.

If you aren't ready to share the solution - perhaps you could let us in on the conditions/symptoms you are trying to solve? "Massive hesitation upon acceleration" sounds like a pretty big deal?? Perhaps you have documented/explained this in a different thread as this one speaks to miles on your RDX?

I don't drive the car very many miles so it takes quite a while to accumulate the mileage necessary to be certain that the solution has worked for me. I hate solutions that turn out to be temporary and become a big disappointment, I've been down that road too many times in the last three years!

The thread you posted/linked above is for the 3G RDX (2019+). Your avatar is of a 2G RDX which this thread is about. Are you saying you are experiencing the same thing in your 2G RDX as being described by 3G RDX owners?

Good point!! Yes, the symptom is very similar if not the same as the one I experienced in my 2G.

I'll post this reply to the thread so that the description of my vehicle shows up in the signature.

2017 Tech AWD - 68k miles. Bought used at 40k miles. Only issue was rotor shuddering. Re-surfaced the rotors and new brake pads solved the issue. Transmission has quirks that I had to get used to, but I still enjoy driving this vehicle every day.

Currently at 195,000 mi, purchased at 10,400 mi (CPO - 06/14)
Down about a .5 mpg since new. Have maintained car by Acura guidelines. Batteries last about 3 yrs here in FL.
2nd timing belt change coming up. Will be installing new struts & shocks, spark plugs & ignition coils.
PS this is my 5th Acura (longest time 1997 2.2 CL 233,000 mi & 17 yrs)

Bought a demo demo model in May of 2016 with 6,700 miles for the wife. She loves the ride and feel, very disappointed in the "pleather" and electronics system. She wants a new Black one with Red interior next year which means I inherit her RDX. I'm currently driving her old 2006 TL that just hit 150K. Both still run like champs!

2014 RDX hit 320,000 today.
Still runs. There are noises from the back I can't figure out where they are coming from.
Might need to replace rear shocks, sway bar links and bushings. Going to buy KYB shocks, Moog sway bar links and keep them to head off any parts shortages.
Mileage is down to 23 mpg highway and 18 mpg city just in time for these gas prices.
Do not know how long this engine will last.

Congrats on the milestone!! Engine doesn't really owe you anything @ 320K, but keep us posted on how long it does go.
