im pretty sure around 30-32 is normal daily driving tire pressure.

honda_civic1

35 psi.

miniwa

i understand that for normal sedan it should be around 32 PSI.
honda_civic1 do you mind explain to me why 35PSI?
because one of my friend who help me service my car tell me to go for 35 as well.
But as normal car is 32. thus i am not sure how many should i go for it.
Thank you

id keep it around 32, tire pressure fluctuates when you drive / as it gets hotter... you dont want to be riding too close to your tires max pressure limit.

honda_civic1

its not going to hurt/mess up your tires if you go 3 psi over if thats what you think. but normally you should put it at 35 psi for ex. have you ever gotten your oil change at a local oil lube place? well when you get it they also detail your car too right,the people will put 35 psi in your car cause the normal psi for cars are 35 psi, I worked at a oil lube place for a long time and i always put in 35 psi.

^^ i don't know about that i always put 35 psi in my car and all my friends who drive hondas and i live in south texas and it gets really hot down here and i havn't had any problem. but if you doubt it then just put 32psi i mean its just tire pressure guys c'mon. just keep it between 32-35 psi and you won't go wrong with that

theres a sticker in your glove compartment. give you the weight limits and recommended tire pressure which is 32-35 just like people have said. btw tyre? you dont have to worry about max pressure and heat at 35 because the tire is designed to handle a little more to compensate for conditions.

Read the tag on the inside of the driver-side door. Should say something like 32 front, 30 rear. Cold tire pressure of course.

ive stopped looking at the glove box / door side since each time i get a new set of tires i know that they're different. for example on my left front it says 35psi max, while my right front says 45psi max. now u might think. wtf u idiot why do u run two different tires like that. why dont u jus swap it out for the back.

well...im running on 13" crappy steelies okay. and they're the only wheels i have left. i have 2 hx's running in the back but with my stock cx it has too much rolling resistance so when i swapped in the 13" vs the 14"hx rims, i noticed a super faster clutch engagement and better accel with less vibration!

...getting vx rims soon. gotta get more mpg! until i have enuff saved for a SWAP =D

it should say on the outside of the tire around the sidewall what max is...

Actually the correct PSI is in the door jam if you are using the stock sized/type tires.

i tried to look at the door jam but doesnt really understand what it talking about..
cant really find the PSI.
anyway i think best bet is to keep it around 32 to 35. thanks everybody for your opinion
