Tires

Recommended Tire Pressures for

Normal Driving

The following chart shows the

recommended cold tire pressures for
most normal driving conditions and

speeds.

The compact spare tire pressure is:

60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm2)

These pressures are also given on

the tire information label on the

driver's doorjamb.

Tubeless tires have some ability to

self-seal if they are punctured.

However, because leakage is often

very slow, you should look closely
for punctures if a tire starts losing

pressure.

Tire Pressure Adjustment For

High Speed Driving
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.

Be sure to readjust the pressure for

normal driving speeds. You should

wait until the tires are cold before

adjusting the tire pressure.

Inspection

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 of 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.
