Tires – Acura 2007 MDX - Owner's Manual User Manual
Page 413
To safely operate your vehicle, your
tires must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with adequate
tread, and correctly inflated.
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread life, and riding
comfort.
The tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) will warn you when a tire
pressure is low. See page for
information on the TPMS.
The following pages give more
detailed information on how to take
care of your tires and what to do
when they need to be replaced.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to
fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tires can make your
vehicle ride more harshly, are
more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
We recommend that you visually
check your tires everyday. If you
think a tire might be low, check it
immediately with a tire gauge.
Use a gauge to measure the air
pressure in each tire at least once a
month. Even tires that are in good
condition may lose 1 to 2 psi (10 to
20 kPa, 0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per
month. Remember to check the
spare tire at the same time.
