I just replaced the original BF Goodrich Touring Traction T/A on my wife's 02 CRV at 92,000 miles! I keep the psi at 36 for town driving and 42 for high speed. I just find the recommended 26psi somewhat low, the tires always look like under-inflated. What is the common practice of CRV owners in this respect? Cheers ps: the replacement tires are BF Goodrich Touring Premier T/A, rated at 70k miles, just over $400 at Costco. I chose to stick with BF Goodrich instead of Michelin, with the $70 off offer, since I hear about noise level with the Michelin.

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 15, 2009 4:18 pm) I understand that the more pressure, the less contact but I guess that's how some owners had their OEM tires worn out at 25k miles, because lower pressure means more contacts, more contacts means more wear. I also think that car mfrs would suggest a lower range psi for comfort over tire wear.

Replying to: pt95148 (Jul 15, 2009 8:36 pm) Personally (and this is not an expert recommendation), I almost always like my tires inflated just a little more than recommendations. I find it improves the handling, with minimal ride comfort issues, and none of the loss of control issues that you get with hyper-inflation. Also... extreme under- or over-inflation can wear a tire out prematurely... just in different places. My old CR-V was listed at 29 psi by Honda... I regularly ran 32 psi and that was perfect for me.... But, don't ever run lower psi than recommended.. An under-inflated tire can build up heat very quickly...
