Tire pressure question
Since I got 17" tires on my 97 Accord, would I still pump the same amount of air (32 psi) on those tires? The tires are 205/45 for the 17" and I think 185/65 on the stock tires (15"). Thanks.
Stock pressure is a good place to start. If you notice uneven wear or weird handling you can move up or down by a few PSI if you know what you are doing. I think the FAQ explains it a lot better.
The maximum pressure shown on the sidewall is NOT to be used in any way as a desirable setting, not even by deducting 5 psi from it. It is simply a capacity which should not be exceeded. There is NO reason to keep your pressure 5 psi below the maximum. In almost all cases, you will get better grip from your tires with a lower pressure setting, typically one close to the pressure recommended by your car's manufacturer.
