#4 of 93 tire pressure for FIT by fitcanuck Aug 12, 2006 (8:36 pm)
My owner's manual (Canadian version) states that the recommended tire pressure for the FIT is 32 psi front/rear. I have the LX model which came with Dunlop tires P175/65R14 with recommended maximum tire pressure of 44 psi. How much should the tire pressure be? Should I go with Honda's recommended numbers? It seems to be a sizeable discrepancy between Honda and the tire manufacturer. Any advice appreciated...   Replies to this message: bodble2 (Aug 12, 2006 8:52 pm) gatortom1 (Feb 03, 2009 2:32 pm)

Replying to: fitcanuck (Aug 12, 2006 8:36 pm) Go with Honda's recommended 32 psi. The 44 psi is the MAXIMUM pressure the tire could withstand (before exploding!) Replies to this message: gatortom1 (Feb 03, 2009 2:32 pm)

#7 of 93 Tire PRessure... by hqly2001 Aug 02, 2006 (8:05 am)
I checked my tire pressure yesterday and and they were 31, 31, 33.5 and 33.5 .. the higher numbers were the back rear tires.. I increased them to 34 all around.. I checked again this morning and the back were still 34's.. but one of the front dropped to 33 and the other 32.. i'm afraid i might have a small hole somewhere on the front tires.. to lose 1-2 psi overnight is not right..   would i take it to dealership since i'm under warranty or the tire company? i'm not sure which tire company these dumlops came from.. i will check again after work.. hopefully it's still at 33 and 32..

Replying to: hqly2001 (Aug 02, 2006 8:05 am) Did you check the pressure with COLD or WARM tires? Normally a warm tire has higher pressure than when it's cold. So always check the pressure with cold tires. Replies to this message: hqly2001 (Aug 02, 2006 4:03 pm)

Replying to: manlok (Aug 02, 2006 12:43 pm) they were cold tires.. there were no changes to the two back tires, only the front two decreased.. i will check again after work to see if it has gone down even further.. if yes, then there's a leak somewhere.
#10 of 93 Tire Bubble by fittastic Aug 10, 2006 (9:11 am)
I don't really consider this a Fit problem (I love my car -- Base model!) so much as a tire problem... after 1800 miles, the front driver's side tire has two large bubbles in it! I can't believe it. In all the years I've been driving, I've never gotten a bubble in my tires.   I took it to the dealer I bought it from two months ago and the guy dimissed it saying that it's not under warranty because it's not the fault of the tire, but rather the road. I don't recall hitting a pothole or anything but regardless, the tire only has 1800 miles on it. I know they aren't the best tires, but come on!   Anyone else have this problem... or know what's covered under warranty of the tire? Replies to this message: fittastic (Aug 10, 2006 2:08 pm)
