Accord Euro tyre noise

[yfin]

No vibrations at any speed. Noise only very noticable at speed 55 to 65kmph. Tyre pressure checked and it 32psi.

Well speak to a tyre shop if you like - but I would have thought a balance and alignment (if car tracks straight and no vibration) is a waste of money in your case.

How are you sure this noise is tyre noise? Does it happen in any gear?

One last thought - pull the wheel off the car and look at it carefully. Check for any debris/nails/rocks etc stuck in the tread or through the tyre. If your car is new it will have plenty of tread so a small nail will not necessarily puncture. Debris in the tread could make a resonance sound.

All of the above is good advice. Try, also having the wheel bearing checked. Does the noise increase on turning in the diretion of that wheel. I had my wheel alignment checked at around 10,000 and found the two rears were out of specification limits. The Accord Euro has tyre noise on some surfaces, on others it is remarkably quiet. I will be changing to either Michelin or Toyo when the time comes.

32psi ? soft ! i like my rock hard! 40psi ftw !

Too hard IMO.36-38psi works well for me!!!

Not sure whether you have tried any other wheel on that corner. If you have than disregard this post if the noise is still there . If not you may have a buckled rim on your hands. but it does sound like a wheel alignment problem.

Higher PSI = faster car

38 all around works well for me

But less grip around corners and you prematurely wear the middle of the tread.

38 is pretty good.

Higher PSI equals less traction, theres suppose to be a good balance in there somewhere, what does the manual say anyway? (i dont know cos i dont have a euro yet)

[EuroDude]

I used to use 45psi on my EG Civic Si (15" low profile), it was a rocket lol. considerably quicker than 35psi
But yeh traction was a bit dodgy/bumpy especially on broken road. Tyre wear was suprisingly ok at 45psi.


It depends on what tyres you have as well, they all behave differently with different PSI. So you need to test different PSI's on your car to determine whats best for you.

^^ Yeah, lower profile tyres need higher pressures because there is a smaller distance between the tread and the rim.

I think tyres will last longer most if the time with higher psi:

less traction=less grip=less tyre wear after all its the same tyre.


does anyone know what the manual saya about psi for euro's i wonder if it is different between std and lux

[ZEi20T]

they tyre will have a weight rating and a psi for that weight. just work out the difference in weight of the euro (at each wheel) and set the pressure accordingly

or stuff it all and set it to the max lol
