Anyone have this happen? It says my right front tire is low on pressure, but when checking the pressure, they are all about the same ...FL 30, FR 30, RL 31, RR 31. It went away once, but once I started the car up again it showed up again, without any drastic drop in pressure.

What could be the problem?

arent those pressure specs a bit on the low side compare to stock specs? consider uping the front ones to 32-33 atleast.

At the dealership we put in 32-34 psi of air in each tire.

Did you check the temps cold or hot? Actually, I think you are a bit low. I would do what's suggested and air the tires up to specs. (A MT is different that an AT) See if that doesn't take care of the problem.

Hrm..seems like the problem has gone away by itself. I think the reason was that my front of the car was parked in the shade while the rear was exposed to heat, causing the temperature to rise and make it uneven.

you should still fill it up a bit those pressures are seriously a bit on the low side.

So 32-34? Is 1 or 2 psi really that much of a difference?

Will Y.

You will likely extend your tire life with the recommended 35 front/32 rear psi on your 6MT (check your driver's door sticker, which has the recommended pressures). The car will also feel a little firmer and gas mileage might improve. The different front v. rear pressures are to reduce the understeer ("push") you probably feel now with equal tire pressures. Your car will feel more neutral and responsive at recommended pressures or slightly higher.
You can adjust the tire pressure to what you think feels best. I do not recommend using less than recommended pressures or more than 40 psi. Do the tire pressure check when the tires are cold (parked 6-8 hours in shaded area)-- as you noted, the air will heat up when tires are exposed to the sun, and the tire air will continue to heat up while driven.

^^ wat he said

Very well said. The labels on inside the the doors are there for a reason. Acura/Honda has did their performance testing based on those psi settings.
