Accord Euro tyre noise

[EuroDude]

Isnt there a sticker in the drivers door that specifies the recommended SI?

I think most tyres only specify the Max PSI, not the recommended psi

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.

i think u need to check the tyre as well.. on the stock 17" re040, the sidewall mentioned not to exceed 40psi. 35psi is just about nice for me, in city.. but when i drive out to the country, i will reduce it to 30psi (as per manual)

Havent check the tire presure since I got the car... must go check, but then ever time I reach a station, the tires are warm already.

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.

^^if its significantly louder than the other corners, it could be your wheel bearing. they can get noisy when theyre fudged although your car is still brand new. wont hurt to check em though.

My mention of the wheel bearing related to a friend's NEW car which had a wheel bearing problem, diagnosed by another dealer after the following.----- The original dealer had Pirelli replace the tyres for no reason, they thought there was a tread pattern problem.

It doesnt need to be completely accurate. If the tyre is warm to the touch, just add an extra 4psi to what you would use when the tyre is cold.

Ur main objective is to compare the PSI of the Front Right Tyre with the other Tyres. Maybe the front right is 45psi while the others are 34

Just check em yesterday night, the front are 32psi and rear 30psi - according to the sticker on the door too seems like my dealer did indeed check em either during delivery or the 1st service.

Put 34psi into the spare wheel... dem difficult, have to remove it and squash my thumb in the process of stuffing it back in the dark.
