Default Steering Wheel Controls & Tires & Maint

I have a 03 Accord EXL 4 cyl. - do the controls on the steering wheel light up at all when the lights are on. As you can guess mine don't. Don't know if they should. The car has 50000 and had brake and trans fluid changed at 30000 - any other maintenance other than changing oil needed any time soon? The tires are original - what brand should I steer away from for replacement - what brand do ya'll recommend.
Thanks

The steering wheel controls didn't light up until the '05 model but it can be retrofitted. I'd like to have them too.

As far as tires go I am not impressed at all with the Michelins that came stock on my car, others love them. Wet traction is poor, the ride is stiff, but they are wearing well. Go to
http://www.tirerack.com/index.jsp?so...ord=tire+rack& and read some reviews before coughing up the moola.

I'll look strongly into these http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....l=Turanza+LS-V when the time comes. Other than a slight drop in MPG I haven't read anything derogatory.

Deserthonda is right about the cabin air filter-do it, they get nasty quicker than you'ld think.
