Michelin Primacy MXV4 PSI

For those of you who are (or had used) Primacy MXV4, what pressure are you running them at?

for the 8th gen you have TMPS...you cant have 30 in the rear without the TMPS light coming on the culster. Keep it at 32 if u dont drive over 70 if you do 35psi. thats what i run

door jamb.........

.....sticker cold inflation front/rear reads 32/29.

Dealer (every 7500) oil/filter et al notes 34 all around on the paperwork.

This is proving to be a good car. Saving my USNR bread for the T-belt/W-pump and associated maintenance............

Just can't see $40k for a new BMW coupe (which is what it would take to get anywhere near this 6M!!)

...will admit to some bias here.........

all the best from our left coast, ez sends............

2007 Accord Sedan LX I4

Hi guys, I have a 2007 Accord LX sedan 4 cylinder. I bought it used a year and a half ago after my beloved 2000 LX was totaled (not my fault - and I was the original owner when bought brand new at 25). Love my 2007 and just last weekend I upgraded the wheels to 17x7.5 Elbrus I06 from TireRack with 215/50R-17 Michelin Primacy MX's.

Posting just b/c I want to get the most out of my tires and not 100% sure what PSI I should be using. All that Michelin says is max PSI is 44. They came from the TireRack at 38 PSI. I just reset them to 36. Anyone think thats too high? I know factory recommended PSI is lower (don't have my owners manually in front of me but) I want to say its around 31 or so. But how much does that apply since these wheels/tires seem much different than the 205 15" steel wheels it came with...

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I have my Primacys set at 35 psi during the warmer months and 37 psi during the cooler months.
