Why would you want to notch it up (or down) against manufacturer pressure recommendation? And how do you know it'll save you gas?I know that the recommended tire pressure for the Sport Sedan is 33 front and 32 back, but is it ok to notch it up by 1 on all 4s? I know it will help with the fuel economy.
What do you guys normally put in?
Noted. Sounds good! 35/34Search is your friend: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1000580&postcount=24
Not really. Not sure why anyone play with tire pressure that was specifically designed for a specific car. Your gas savings are non-existing or minimal at best, but you'll shorten your tires' life and also compromise car stability and safety.Search is your friend: http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1000580&postcount=24
so if I pump them up a few psi I will ruin my tires? What have you based this conclusion on?Not really. but you'll shorten your tires' life and also compromise car stability and safety.
You won't "ruin" them per-se, but you will shorten their life. They are suppose to run with a calculated/designed pressure and if you over-inflate or under-infalte it shortens their life, it causes the car to be outside it's handling characteristics and you save no gas whatsoever.so if I pump them up a few psi I will ruin my tires? What have you based this conclusion on?
Yup, I never over or under inflate. I go by the book. Tires are your only contact with the road :thmsup:Hey, was just pointing him to what's already been said. Thanks for your link! I'll leave mine as-is. :thumbsup:
Incorrect on all counts.Not really. Not sure why anyone play with tire pressure that was specifically designed for a specific car. Your gas savings are non-existing or minimal at best, but you'll shorten your tires' life and also compromise car stability and safety.
Absolutely correct. It's proven. Did you see the PM link?Incorrect on all counts.
