Replying to: frisconick (Aug 16, 2005 5:24 pm) Mileage of treadwear. Everyone may be accustomed to non-low-profile performance tires. Remember folks...we are talking about 45 series with some bite. Many are comparing to general use 60 series tires that don't grab and are built solely for endurance without any performance. If you want serious performance and treadwear...there is a solution...buy Michelin Pilot A/S with your next tire change. |

| I just bought a 2006 Carbon Gray/Ebony Auto. Great car so far. BUT, I checked the tire pressure and discovered the right front had 45 pounds, the left front had 35 pounds, and each rear had 34 pounds. The door says it should be 32 front, 30 rear. Does anyone have any advice on this? Has anyone run different pressures with any success? I adjusted the tires to 33 front and 31 rear. I fear the gas mileage will tank now but more important I want the car to ride and handle as it is supposed to. Thanks to all who can advise. | |

This is not uncommon coming from dealers. New car buyers often find that the tires are way overinflated. They're supposed to check it when they prep the car, but they usually don't. 32 front and 30 rear is what the manual calls for. You should be fine at 33,31. A little more pressure will improve handling with some degradation to ride quality. People do it all the time. Underinflation is the big enemy of tires. Your gas mileage isn't going to tank because you run your tires at factory spec.

About ready for new tires for my 04 TSX. Anybody got any decent recommendations? Not looking for anything crazy expensive, just some decent tires to run on...
