re: headlights

I'm surprised your headlights are dim. I also have an '05 and the headlights are some of the best I've ever had. I like how the low beams stay on when you use the high beams. Our old 2000 Dodge Caravan on the other hand had the worst headlights I've ever had.

Tires and headlights

I have an '04 SE and I have no problems with the headlights. Have you asked the dealer? There is a legal minimum (at least there is in VA). It would seem too soon for the lenses to cloud over.

As for the tires, what can I say, OEM tires, on almost any car, are a compromise to give a nice ride. Some tires just don't do well in the rain. We replaced our original Goodyear's (32,000 miles and the wear bars were showing) with Yokahama AVIDS and have been very pleased. Are the tire pressures correct? High and low pressures will affect tire performance - as well as tread wear.
