Honda "Tires for Life" and "Warranty for Life". How Does this work and is it true?

At Proctor Honda in Tallahassee, it is our commitment to provide you the very best Honda pricing and service available. In today's marketplace it seems like everyone is offering something that makes them the right place to do business with. While some offers may be legitimate, others are a tactic to improve sales by offering something that sounds too good to be true. As the old saying goes "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." As rational consumers, we can all agree that the terms like "free" and "for life" are usually associated with fine print and multiple stipulations.
