#292 of 300 Re: What psi do you keep on your CRV [pt95148] by bigdadi118 Jul 15, 2009 (12:56 am)
Replying to: pt95148 (Jul 14, 2009 4:36 pm) Which one to go with when car manufacturer suggests 28psi and tire manufacturer suggests 35psi? Rule of thumb is the car mftr one but I would try both setting by checking the confort, noise level, handling and braking. The more inflated tire usually has less braking effectiveness.

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Jul 15, 2009 12:56 am) Tire manufacturers don't suggest tire pressures.. They may list a maximum tire pressure, but each car manufacturer specifies the proper pressure for their cars..

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 15, 2009 4:18 pm) My question was to find out what owners keep their tires inflated at, not that there is a difference between tire and car mfg, ie: do you keep it at the car mfr recommendation or do you have your own practice, like I did?   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) Car manufacturers have to balance comfort and safety... (sometimes they screw up).   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...

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 16, 2009 3:16 am) I totally agree with you on that. I find that the psi I used on my wife's 02 CRV was fine for ride comfort and handling. The tire wear was very even on all tires, I don't see any symptoms associated with under or over inflated tires.   Just an observation on the 29psi on older CRV, that to me doesn't make sense since we know all that cars grow bigger, wider and heavier with newer models. An 02 model just has to be heavier and yet the psi recommended by Honda is 26psi ! Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 17, 2009 3:32 am)

Replying to: pt95148 (Jul 16, 2009 7:02 am) I don't think you can compare inflation pressures by weight.. Tire size and load capacity play a bigger role. The last generation CR-V rode on smaller tires.

I am planning to purchase new tires for my 2007 CRV. Any recommendation of which brand should I purchase. My car has 32K right now. edel Replies to this message: bigdadi118 (Sep 18, 2009 9:39 pm) cinglemom (Sep 25, 2009 3:43 pm)

Replying to: edelyssa (Sep 18, 2009 12:13 pm) I made my purchase from tirerack.com. The tires I purchase are called: 225/65R-17 KUMHO ROAD VENTURE APT KL51. These tires are great. No skidding on dry pavement/minimal skidding on wet pavement/ very quiet. I have yet to drive them in snow/ice. But they are MUCH MUCH better than the OEM tires (Duelers).
