Euro 2007 model - recommended tyre pressure

[2008 Accord Euro]

Hi all,

Prior to posting this topic, I have searched older threads relating to my question.

In this thread: http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthr...highlight=tyre

there are conflicting views (well at least different views) from Euro owners about what the most appropriate/ideal psi should be for the tyres. In this thread it mentions the ideal psi for cold pressures - I didn't know what this means, could someone please explain this?

I have driven my Euro (which is four months old) but have not checked the tyres for its psi. The wheels are 16".

Would appreciate if I could get some clarification. If it helps, I drive my car 2-3 times a week but only drive about 200km per week on average.

Thanks!

It's not really a conflict of views, it's more towards the type of driving and the comfort levels each individual wants as well as the make of the tyre.

If you want, you can just follow the manufacturer's recommendation. The information will be on the placard next to the seatbelt on the driver's side door.

Thank you EuroAccord13 for the quick reply, that makes sense why there are differing views.

Guess one way I can find the optimal psi would be to try different views (within a safe psi zone) and see for myself.

What psi do you normally set your tyres with?

A good place to start would be to add an extra 4psi to what is recommended on the tyre placard and see how you go.

I run 36F/35R but I have different tyres... I add another 2-3PSI if I will be driving a long time on highways...
Best for you is to play around and drive with it and see which one suits you..

35 all round for me. Bit stiff, but I deal with it.

I have the 205/55 R16 tyres and use 36psi for both front and rear.

32-33psi, comfortable without being too low

[tony1234]

38-40 psi for me!

[EuroDude]

37-37 for me.

34 slows the car down too much, 40 is too hard imo

The type of tyre i've got(CSC2s) 38-40 psi suits them well as they have soft sidewalls.

34 psi for front and back ... seems to be reasonable.
