    Why The Tire Pressures On Your Door Frame Placard Are (in most cases) More Than Adequate: After doing some research, and corresponding calculations, I produced the following tables, for both my 2005 Honda, shown below, and my wife's Toyota Corolla. Source: Tire pressure and load tables from...

    Have Tire Pressure Gauges Evolved, in terms of quality and accuracy, that this garage tool: Myers Master Air Gauge Test Station #54906 ... is no longer a bench necessity at service stations, garages, and dealerships? I wanted to take some of my gauges to have them checked against such a...

    ... What am I, crazy? But it's kept me from going insane! Seriously though: how does anyone know if the tires on that brand new ride are even within 5-10psi of each other? Or at shipping pressures(40+psi), or bias-ply levels(25-27)?

    Below is a link to NHTSA's 2001 Tire Pressure Survey: https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/0701tirepressure.pdf In results Tables #4 and 5, pages 17 & 18, the survey lists "Tire Labeling"(tire sidewall) as the primary source used for determining proper inflation pressure. Now while...

    Automotive vs Backyard 'Engineers' & Tire Pressure Yes, another tire pressure thread, but more psychological in nature. Now I have been perusing tire pressure threads and conversations in dozens of auto forums on the VerticalScope platform, and a common gene seems to run through a lot of these...

    Tire Pressure Gauge Error If you had multiple tire pressure gauges, of any style, and you discovered that half of them read 1psi or so high, and all the others read 1psi or so low, which ones you keep, and which ones would you get rid of? Remember, a gauge that reads high might lead you to...

    The MYTH Of Wider Tire Contact Patch Being of Greater Size: Dispelled! So I took it upon myself to magnify and measure the tire contact patch areas in square inches, as illustrated on page 291 of 'Automotive Engineering' edited by David A. Crolla, copyright 2009 Elsevier Publishing. Now: the...
  8. The 9th Generation
    I feel really confused and could not find out why. Right after each time when the engine starts up, my 2014 Sport's tire pressure warning light always comes on and stays for around 3 seconds, and then goes off. I check the tire pressure and I am very sure that the tire pressures are good. It was...

    After a Tire rotation from the dealer, I found the Low tire pressure light comes on when cold start after 15-20 seconds and goes away momentarily. I showed it to the dealer and didn't blink when the tires are hot. They checked the tire pressure when hot- said: "nothing off". wondering if it...

    Yes, that is what the car we call Accord was called in Japan! From 2008-12 model years. I'm actually trying to find info out about this Japanese domestic, including recommended tire pressure for it. Alas the glorious internet is bereft of such basic info.

    Unequal Tire Pressure - Trick Question: My car's Tire & Load placard specifies 32psi cold, front & rear. Scenario: If I add 2psi to both left-side tires, and remove 2psi from both right-side tires, which way will my car drift or pull? The lefts now have 34psi, cold pressure, in them, and the...

    Split Cold Tire Pressures: Front-to-Rear I understand the technical reasons for why some car makers specify different cold tire pressures for the front and rear axles of certain models. My question concerns those vehicles (except for the obvious: large SUVs and work vans) for which different...
  13. The 7th Generation
    Hey guys, So I've been having this issue for a while now. On one of my tires, it regularly looses air. The tires are new, and the strange thing is, I had this same issue on the older Michelin tire that came with the car. One day I will check the air pressure, notice it's low usually around...
  14. The 9th Generation
    Good day - I am a new owner of a 2015 Honda Accord CVT sport model. I recently came from an Acura TL 4th generation model. The question I have relates to tire pressure. I just checked my tire pressure and the front drivers side tire was set at 41 psi. All 3 other tires were set at 35 psi. I...
