Default Tires looking flat on Honda

Are the front tires suppose to look kind of flat (on the ground) on the vehicle?

The front tires on my Honda Odyssey looks kind of flat when it is parked. I check the tire pressure and inspect the tires, there is nothing wrong with the tires itself. The tires are only a year old. It just look flat and unbalance on the front. Even after the new tires are put on, it still look flat.

What can be done or inspected to make the front tires/car more straighter up.

If I can post a picture, I will later on. Not sure can I post pictures here.

I've noticed the same thing on my Accord. I'm no expert. But, if your have TPMS and it's not complaining and your manual pressure gauge reads a normal pressure, it's probably nothing. They probably should look flat because the engine sits above it.

There is NO NEED for pictures OP. if you have proper inflation, that is what matters, not what your tires look like.

Keep in mind too those pressures are for COLD tire pressure. I usually check mine early in the morning after they have been sitting for awhile. Like MSchu said though, what their appearance is does not matter. Just follow the guidelines for the PSI as listed in the door jamb.

If the recommended pressure is say 32psi, I will inflate it to 34-35psi, that way it will take longer for the pressure to go down, and longer before I have to add air again. I will add air when the pressure gets down to 30psi, so the tire will have to loose 4psi before I need to add air.
