I got my fit on November 2 07 and decided to buy a torque wrench so I could rotate my tires properly. I actually got up on black Friday at 3 AM because Sears had an $80 1/2 in drive torque wrench on sale for $40. My Honda dealership only charges $29 for an oil change but wants $50 for tire rotation. Go figure! I even came back a week later to re torque them. It's kind of a pain but I'm trying to be impeccable with the fit.
