Tire pressure on our odyssey was low for a few weeks so I set the pressure to 32 psi for now snd the tire pressure indicator no longer on the dashboard. I know the manual say 33 psi (front) and 35psi (back). here is my stupid question: The mechanic where I set the tire pressure told me to set 39 psi ( front) and 42(back) , and I thought this was way too high for the van. He even showed me 42psi on the sidewall of the tires. Is this true? Should the pressure be set to 39 front/42 back? or what should I set it to during winter vs. summer? Many thanks for helping me out! zaki

I would go with the recommendation in the manual. I would never deviate by as much as your mechanic has suggested without checking the suggestion out with Honda or a tire company. I have had service people tell me not to use the oil recommended in my manual and to me that is always a red flag and an indication that I need to begin looking for a new place to get my car serviced. The engineers that write the specs for your manual are professional people that know their products. I trust them more than individual mechanics who come and go from various dealerships.

Replying to: dsrtrat2 (Dec 15, 2008 9:13 am) 2,150 miles so far and averaging 24.88 MPG. Terrain around here is almost table-top flat. Had a day with wind and another with some heavy rain. Tires were under inflated by 2-3 PSI til I put 36 PSI in all 4 of them yesterday. That may help the MPG a bit. |
