Tire pressure...

I brought the car back to the Los Gatos dealer for the dent from the front pass. side due to manufactory defect. They try to cover that dent part by spray painted the whole thing...but if you look underneath you would see a bunch of over sprayed dripping mark...and it look shittiy. So any way the Tony would have it repaired for me for free. This place dont have a loaner car. So when i came pick the car up it looks real good. But the tire kind of low i asked the body shop manager see if they can inflated both front tires for me....as for me i go by the manual saying that the pressure should be 32psi in front and 30psi in the rear tires. But i kept 32 psi all the way around. But the mechanic insisting that the pressure should be 41 psi as indicated on the tires. I told them to pump it to 32 psi and leave it there. Come to today i was checking the front tire pressure again and it shows 42 psi!!! I mean i love to drive fast on the freeway and any thing but this is too much..Dont you guys think? Would you go by the manual rating or by what the tire says? The tire recommended 41psi is the MAX. BTW this reading was a cold reading not after running or any thing. Thank you.

Just drop the pressure down then, not a big deal.

The proper PSI is what's on the inside of the driver's door. The thing on the tires is the MAX safe pressure, not the recommended pressure.

FWIW, on the stock tires both when I had the CL-S and now in the TSX I do 35 all around. Measured cold of course.

36PSI on Pilot Sport A/S. My previous set of tires I ran 32 and they lasted about 32k miles, my stocks were replaced at 27k due to sidewall bulges.

With 36psi I get good gas mileage and the wear on these is really low, you can barely see any wear.

I keep 'em at 34 PSI (always measured in the AM/cold using same tire pressure gauge). And yes, Acura recommends 32 PSI.

If your tires are overinflated, just let out some air to whatever pressure you want.

I've got the same tires as you on the summer rims ... but I have them at 42psi all around. True ... the '75% rule' on the Proxies4 (max psi=51) is 38.25psi ... but I like it a little more firm for fuel economy / handling.
