Honda strongly recommends that
you not drive faster than posted
speed limits and conditions allow. If
you decide it is safe to drive at high
speeds, be sure to adjust the cold tire
pressures as shown below. If you do
not adjust the tire pressure, exces-
sive heat can build up and cause
sudden tire failure.

When you return to normal speed
driving, be sure to readjust the tire
pressure for normal driving. You
should wait until the tires are cold
before adjusting the tire pressure.

Every time you check inflation, you
should also examine the tires for
damage, foreign objects, and wear.
You should look for:

Bumps or bulges in the tread or
side of the tire. Replace the tire if
you find either or these conditions.

Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side
of the tire. Replace the tire if you
can see fabric or cord.

Excessive tread wear. When you
see a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide
band running across the tread,
there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6
mm) of tread left on the tire.
Replace the tire if you can see
three or more tread wear
indicators around it.
