Tyre Pressures

[HughJarse]

What would you recommend...

2004 Accord Saloon 2.2 CDTi EX
225/45/17 wheels and tyres all round

No load carrying, no towing, usually only me in the car 95% of the time.
Looking for the best combo for economy and ride comfort.

I used to run mine at 36 when I had 17s, but then again I tow quite often.

Hi mate,

I think its 32 front - 36/38 rear. If your unsure just open the driver door or the front passenger door you should see a placard with these details.

Hope this helps

Front is always higher due to engine weight!!

I can't remember exactly the specific, but 36/37 fronts, 33/34 rears, higher if load carrying. worth checking tyre wear after a few thousand miles just be sure something isn't off.

Thanks guys. I've just put 35 front and 32 rear, I'll see how it goes.

They were 29 front and 25 rear

Sorry meant the opposite - my bad!

Manufactures quoting different pressures for different loads amuses me, who's going to change the pressure when passengers get in and out ? I run with enough pressure to accommodate a couple of passengers and high speed cruising on motorways. I only change the pressure if I'm going on a long run fully loaded.

As Ned says .

I would think that the amount of people who actually change their pressures under load would be very low .

Not sure why I keep mine at 38 all around. Hmmmmm

38 all round for me also
