What tire pressure do you think?

Jay Kincannon · 03-21-2007, 07:12 PM

I just installed HFP Sports Suspension and 17" HFP wheels. Anybody figured out a good tire pressure for front and rear. Tried SEARCH, nothing came up or I don't know how to use it.

Read the sticker on your door and the owners manual.....just because you upgraded to the HFP wheels doesnt mean you need to change the air pressure.

If you got an Si, PSI is 32 f/r

Yea I keep my psi at 32 f/r. But my back right goes flat every so often. So I keep that one 36 or 37 psi. Ordering 17x7 soon and dont have to worry aout pressure so closely any more! =D

I know what Honda says. I know there have been members mention that they have played with tire pressure for a better ride and handling. I just can't find those results. A little help please.

Its really a subjective thing, what each driver likes. You need to just play with it up and down, front and rear and see what you like, yet doens't accelerate your tire wear, unless you can afford to buy new tires every year.

MY Si has an alternate pressure listed in the manual of 33 fr and 29 rear, I run about 33 fr and 31 rear.

I'm using 36 psi for better gas mileage. I was down at about 28-29 in the winter to get some better traction though.

my si says 35 front and 33 rear
