It depends on what your car is used for and your driving style but as my Accord is used as a reliable daily I run at a couple psi over whats recommended.alli said:
My reasons are that fuel economy is more important than ultimate performance and grip as everyother week I have a 500 mile motorway journey to do where as if it was a Type R and a weekend toy then I may run them at a psi under the recommended so that grip and performance are the priority.
Rule of thumb, higher psi = less grip, better fuel economy, tyre lasts longer
Lower psi = better grip, slightly worse fuel economy, tyre wears quicker.
