Tire air pressure
I have seven generation Honda acccord lx 2003. On the driver side door its says for the front time to use 30psi and for the back 29psi. Should i follow honda recommendation or should i use 35psi for front and back tires?
thanks for any replys in advance

I'd read what the PSI says on the tire, not the door. Thats me though. That 30/29 does sound pretty low.
I'm running 34psi (92 Accord). When I have 16's a nd lo-pro tires I ran 39psi.

if you have the factory tire size on it, you should stick to what honda recommends. I generally go 2-3 psi higher than the recommended though. It gives me a leeway period when air runs out and I'm still in the safe range w/o having to check the air too often. Usually check them every 2 months or so.
And the pressure is always measured cold. I found out once theres a 7-8psi difference when the tires are warm/hot (and the outside temp is warm) than when they are cold. 37psi turned out to be an under-inflated 29-30psi (32psi recommended for me)

Those number are Hondas reccomendations for the best mix of ride quality, tire wear and performance. Feel free to adjust them to your driving style/needs/wants.

The only lising on the tire is manufacturers max allowable air presure. It's not a good idea to go higher.
