Tire Pressure
I was at the dealership today and asked them to take a look at my tire pressure, just to make sure they were set at the correct pressure. To my surprise, and theirs, my rear tires were way over inflated. The drive home was my smoothest with the TSX so far. So basically CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE

I recently bought a used Tacoma and drove about 100 miles before I was able to check the tire pressure. Little did I know the dealership had put new tires on the truck and aired them up to 60 psi. On top of that the tires they installed were really more of an off-road tire, so I really had my hands full driving that truck. Once I got the pressure down to the recommended level of 29 psi the truck drove and road MUCH better!

32/30?
A while back -- and as a response to another related thread -- someone said that optimal pressure was 32/30. Can anyone confirm this?
And, perhaps this is a naive question ... what does 32/30 mean? 32 front and 30 rear? Vice versa? Something else all together?
Thanks!
Mike

Yes .... 32 front and 30 back.
You can find this info: Driver side door - inside sticker.

Remember 32/30 is the cold pressure setting. If you drive to a gas station and then test, don't be surprised if it's several PSI's higher. Don't change the pressure based on such hot readings; otherwise you'll under-inflate your tires.
Readings obtained from less than one mile of driving are considered cold and valid.
