Default Help with Falken Ziex 512's 205/60/15 most efficient tire PSI

I have a 5th Gen Accord SE with 205/60/15's and I was wondering what is the most efficient PSI to run on those tires? Just Tires told me its a compensation between tire sizes. I was wondering has anyone found the most accurate compensation? I dont want to over-inflate my tires & I don't want to eye-ball it. I got this new set for $100 from someone in Orange COunty. I would like the best even wear and tire I can get on these tires. THanks alot

It should have the recommended psi ratings listed on the sidewall, right?
higher pressure, less rolling resistance (to a point!).
Less pressure, more "sticky", less rolling resistence, less MPG, higher tire wear.

HTH,
Carl

higher-less rolling resistance and better grip during cornering(less tread squirm) but u sacrifice some grip from stand still take off

lower-more 'sticky' only during stand still take offs, u'll sacrifice cornering grip...

just go for the psi written in ur door jamb, and play with it a lil adding and taking out sum here and there til u get wut u like...i run (f)38psi and (r)32psi

It has the max PSI rating on the sidewall. The recommended if your still running the same size as stock id use the PSI the owners manual gave me.

I believe HONDA recommends 32 psi for most of its cars.
