I have done a search, didn't find much about the factory 17" wheels and tires. My front tires always look low, but the pressure is 35 psi, yet the door sticker recommends 32 psi.

Any body have best pressure to inflate these tires to?

Thanks!

Depends. What is the top speed will you bee going at? MAX you should EVER go is 41PSI. That said...take 1PSI off for every 6mph you are going to go over 100 and that is how high you can set your tires cold.

So at 35 PSI...your max speed should be no higher than 136mph.

I had mine set to 37 all around the night of my accident. I reached speeds well over 130 (I think). Needless to say my rear tires gave way and I was without my baby for 3 months.

Thank god I'm fine...but if we went purely by the books...with tire pressure set to 37...max speed should of been capped at 124mph.

ACURA chose the right PSI to set the tires to if you want to do the maximum high speed run our cars were advertised to go.

V-rated tires are rated to go 149mph.
Going that fast will inflate your tires a little more than 8PSI...round up...and that's 9

41 (max pressure) - 9 (tire expansion due to high speed) = 32 (recommended)

Supposedly we have a speed limiter that maxes us out at 147...but some say they've gone as high up as 150 something. I really hope they have their tires set to 32 when doing that because the theoretical limit of our stocks set to 32PSI is 154mph before potential tire failure. Dont forget it is also a V-rated tire which means you shouldnt even be going past 149 in the first place.

Your front tire will always looks lower than your rear tires mostly because over 60% of the car's weight is biased towards the front.
Just keep the tire pressure according to factory specs. Do not over-inflate the front tires to make them "look even" with the rears. Doing that will wear your tires unevenly, not to mention the possibility of reduced traction and harsh ride.
