I was going about 90mph on the freeway, while every one is going about 65 when a A$$hole with a truck cut me off about 3 car lengths in front of me. There were cars around me so I couldn't maneuver around him so I stomped on the brakes. I could feel the ABS work for like a second and then the front tires locked. I skid pretty far (15 yards) until I finally slowed down to about 50mph (thats how fast the truck was going) I realized the ABS light was on and my car was making a thumping sound. I found out it was a flat spot on my tires from the skidding. I still don't know whats wrong with my ABS. This is where my question comes in. Do you think the dealership will cover my tires because the ABS failed?? Please let me know what you guys think.

Yes. ABS should always keep your tires from locking ever, especially during a long straight stop.

Could go either way. If the dealer finds that there's a defect in the ABS they might do something about the tires. If they take the hardline "tires aren't covered by Acura" you're on your own. If they do find an ABS problem and reject your tire claim you should call Acura Customer Care to see if they'll do anything.

Just wondering who the Ahole is doing 90 in traffic. Seems to me you're one lucky dude from several angles.

i hate people who do that. i was going down this road by my house, VERY good visibility. i admit i was going just a tad faster tad the limit, but this @sshole decides to pull onto the road about 100 feet infront of me after sitting there waiting, watching me get closer and closer really fast. are people like this just asking to get killed? i had to swerve just to avoid hitting him and nearly lost control. as for the warranty issue, if the damage was caused by the faulty abs, they should replace ur tires for free. if not, u can argue it.

i think that the dealer will cover the tires within 12 months when you first drive out of the lot. Something about wear and tear if i rememebered correctly
