I have a 2003 Honda C-RV that is maintained regularly. It has 33,000 miles on it. I'm going to be driving from the SF bay area to Arizona and back later this year and I don't want any tire problems. Should I be thinking about getting new tires?

You have fairly low mileage on your vehicle. You should be okay. Just in case, check the amount of thread on tires, fill with air (if needed), and make sure no cracks on the sidewalls. Good Luck.

Look at your tires. It is a visual thing. Compare the tires on the road to the spare tread depth. Spare probably hasn't been used thats why I look there.
If you have parts of the road tires with no tread anymore-bald-then it is time. If they still have healthy amount and depth of tread depth 1/8" or deeper...you are probably still OK. When in doubt, ASK the maintenance shops to take a quick peek(especially those that do not sell tires on the side)
It really depends on your vehicle use and what it has carried for additional weight, and the type of driver you are. Stop -go(ride other bumpers kind) or laid back highway driving kind or rally driver.

We see a lot of CR-V's in the tire shop I work at. In my experience with regular rotations the OE tires tend to last about 40k miles, give or take. This does not account for any uneven wear from say, a bad alignment. If you have a concerns you should stop in to a tire store and have them check the tread for remaining depth and any uneven wear issues. They will do this for free and it takes about 2 minutes.

Several factors come into play here.
What is the quality of the tires you bought? High quality tires with a high mile - lifetime are more expensive.
What are the road conditions you drive on?
What are your driving habits?
Other factors might play a part as well, but the three above are the most important.

It depends entirely on what tires are on it now. Tires come in various load ranges and grades. Are these the original tires? If so, they are 4 years old. Are the sidewalls weather cracked? What about your tread? Are you in the legal limits? That would be over 2/32 inch. Are they worn unevenly?

You are looking at between 2500 to 3000 miles round trip. If you have been giving it normal wear and the car is in good alignment than you should have no problem. Your tires should be good for about 50,000 miles under normal conditions.

Place a quarter in the grooves of the tire. If the rubber of the tire does not come up to the head in the quarter, change the tires.

Sounds like you will be going over some rough terain & hit some snowy highways. I would get a set of winter Ice tires like Blizzacks or Mich Ice x or even cheapies like Winterforce
